PUMA White Hunter Lion Hunting Knife

PUMA White Hunter Lion

The two noble types of wood symbolize the majestic appearance of the male lion: the deep red plum wood represents his powerful, dense mane, while the light, richly textured olive wood reflects the silky, shiny fur of his body. In this way, this knife combines strength and elegance in a unique tribute to the king of the savannah.

Developed in 1956 for the East African hunting organization EAPHA, the PUMA “White Hunter” quickly became known worldwide as the ultimate outdoor knife and is now considered a highly popular classic. Its blade shape is meticulously designed and effortlessly meets all conceivable requirements.

The sturdy tip is robust enough to open cans or pry off bottle caps. In the middle of the spine of the blade, there is a beveled axe edge, designed for heavy-duty tasks such as splitting firewood or breaking bones. In addition, the rear section of the cutting edge features a practical serration for notching green branches, fish skin, or similarly tough materials.

This exclusive version is available with high-quality handle scales made from two carefully selected types of wood: deep red shimmering plum wood and beautifully grained olive wood. Between the wooden elements, an elegant brass inlay adds to the noble appearance of this classic.

Another highlight of this lion edition is the beautiful laser engraving on the blade. The knives are consecutively numbered. Numbers are assigned in the order of purchase, so choosing a specific number is not possible.
