Puma SGB hunting knives
The same shape and the same steel as a Puma from Solingen, at a considerably lower price. That is Puma SGB, the line with which the German brand makes its classic hunting knives more accessible. The knives are made in Asia, from German steel.
German steel, Asian manufacture
It is 1.4116 stainless steel, a type that stays sharp well and that you can touch up yourself without special stones. Exactly what you want in a knife you use in the field rather than keep in a display case.
For the handle scales, Puma mainly uses stag horn, as well as wood, micarta and G10. Stag horn is a natural product, so no two knives are identical: pattern, colour and texture vary from one piece to the next. Between handle and blade, there is usually a brass bolster, which also serves as a finger guard.
In the handle there is a shield with the SGB logo, and the scales are held in place by decorative rivets. All fixed SGB hunting knives come with a leather sheath. There is also a folding knife in the series, for anyone who wants the SGB look without a fixed knife on the belt. Puma has now been around for well over 250 years, and SGB is how that craftsmanship stays accessible.
If you are after the modern side of the brand instead, that is Puma TEC.
