I had a Puma like that....early 80s.
Wonder what happened to it.

Nice knife.

That pouch....original?
Mine didn't have one.
And I don't recall seeing nylon pouches like that before the mid-90s or so.

Cool!

Just thought nylon sheaths were a more recent thing.

i had a few more , slightly newer , my fathers and my father-in-laws , but they reside in the collection of a new 'younger' collector , along with a 'find' i made when i recarpeted my boat [which had to have come from the factory based on where i found it and that i bought the boat new off the showroom floor in the spring of 83 ,

it does dosent it ?

i sent the "boy scout" knife i had to a young collector here , it was my fathers , i cant recall what happened to the one i had as a youth , i may have given it to a younger scout when i quit , i seem to remember something like that , it had scales that were green-gray IIRC

this one was carried by my fathers father - it was his pants pocket jackknife , it had a leather case for the attachements but thats long ago rotted away , he started as a machineist-tool and die maker[inventor-had a handfull of pattents] , ended up as a professional engineer - carried this when he wore a suite and tie ,

the wood handled one was my mothers fathers tool box jackknife , he kept it at work all his working years and in the basement later - i still have the oak machineists tool box it came in , along with the tools of the trade , this grandpoarent was a machineist his whole life
