Together with MESSER MAGAZIN, we held a design competition for a fixed-blade hunting and outdoor knife. We specified the following criteria: It should be a flat-tang construction; the blade length should not exceed eleven centimeters; the blade should have a drop point, spear point, or skinner shape; the knife should have bolsters/hand guards made of brass or nickel silver; the handle scales should be made of a natural material such as staghorn or wood, or alternatively, Micarta could be used; the sheath should be made of leather.
From the numerous design proposals, a jury consisting of the management and editorial staff of Messer Magazin (Knife Magazine) made a preliminary selection of twelve designs. These were presented to readers in issue 03/2018. The readers chose Olaf Zwätz's design as the winner. The winning design is called "PUMA ben" and was implemented almost exactly according to the designer's specifications. Our team and Mr. Zwätz discussed and refined the details and the best possible implementation from a production perspective. The result is a hunting and outdoor knife made of Sandvik 14C28N steel (first edition) / now CPM S90V steel and elegantly shaped nickel silver bolsters. The full-tang construction features a nearly ten-centimeter-long drop-point blade with a flat grind. The handle scales are made of traditional staghorn, and the sheath is made of brown saddle leather.
The knife comes in a black wooden box and with a certificate.
Since we process natural products, variations in color and structure are possible - each knife is unique.
