Puma “Robuster” Micarta Hunting Knife

Puma “Robuster” Micarta Hunting Knife

The “Robuster” is designed for significant tasks in the wilderness. It is one of the best knives for a variety of jobs, serving well as both a camp knife and a tool for processing strong game. The ergonomic handle makes it easy and secure to handle.

With the design of this knife, a synthesis of traditional Asian and European forms was achieved, incorporating technical results from personal experience. The Robuster combines history, elegance, and utility. Everything that hinders performance, such as long-term dullness, a guard, or an unwieldy handle, has been avoided to create a work knife with exceptionally high utility. The elegant appearance is based on harmonious lines and proportional features of the handle and the knife blade. The stylistic foundation of the handle was borrowed from a proven European sabre handle from the early 19th century, ensuring a secure grip even in challenging applications. Unlike typical knife handles, the rear circumference of this handle is significantly smaller, allowing the shorter ring and pinky fingers to fully grasp the handle. The curved shape of the handle and the resulting hook effect provide relief during slicing and chopping. During a strong knife thrust, the thumb and index finger experience the same relief because the curve of the handle securely fits in the palm. The thumb rest at the end of the handle, dictated by its shape, ergonomically supports the “Reverse Grip.” The lower guard provides ample hand security, and the classic double guard has been omitted to allow enough space for the thumb to reach the thumb rest unhindered. The combination of these features and the charm of a historical era make this knife handle unique. The knife blade features a widening at the front, a distinctive feature known as the Bolo tip. The overall length is 12.6 inches (320 mm), the blade length is 7.7 inches (195 mm), and it is 0.2 inches (5 mm) thick. The Robuster is crafted from the proven Böhler N690 stainless steel, known for its durability and ease of sharpening. The handle scales are made of Micarta, with a knife weight of 13.3 ounces (377 g). The Robuster comes with a variably wearable leather sheath. Manifested through a continuous serial number, we are committed to “Made in Solingen” and the high standards of our customers.

Alternatively, the Robuster is also available with a handle made of walnut wood (Item No.: 121000).
