PUMA Skinner Knife with Antler Grips and Original Leather Scabbard. 21168. Hunting Knives

PUMA's story begins in 1769, when Johann Lauterjung registers his trademark in Solingen, Germany. For a long time the company is run by the Lauterjung family. In 1876 PUMA started producing pocket knives and stilletos. Around 1936 the company is placed under the authority of the German regime for the war industry. After the liberation in 1946 PUMA's focus shifted back to the civil market. In 1956 PUMA designs its most famous knife, the White Hunter. Ever since PUMA has continued to develop and innovate and introduced a completely new collection in 2003: the PUMA IP. A collaboration with large knife factories spread out all over the world. It is the first time this German knife brand crossed its borders into international territory. This example has a double edged 5” (9 ½ “overall) blade with a serrated lower edge. The blade is in good condition with minor surface scratches from use. It is etched *faintly* ‘PUMA SKINNER’ Genuine Pumaster Steel Germany to one side of the blade.
