PUMA KNIVES. GERMANY. "ORIGINAL BOWIE - 6396".

Besides the White Hunter, this is probably Puma's most recognisable model and you will not find a better example than this 1976 version, made in 'Pumaster Steel' (carbon). For a knife that is nearly 50 years old, it looks as though it had left the factory only yesterday ! Very rare to find a carbon steel Puma with barely a blemish on it, so this really is a rareity.

Unfortunately it is missing it's Rockwell sticker on the blade, although the indent is clear to see and it has arrived to me in an incorrect Puma box. Blade: 6-1/2 inches. Oal: 11 inches.

Mint, unused condition. £350 inc. UK p&p.

BARK RIVER KNIVES. USA. "BRAVO EDC".

Bark River Knives are held in high esteem among knife users, with their use of 'exotic' steels and many different designs. This is the Bravo EDC (Rampless) in CPM3v steel, with Evergreen Burlap over yellow liners.  A small(ish) knife that I suspect "punches above it's weight". Blade: 3-1/4 inches. Oal: 7-1/4 inches. Complete with original sheath and box. 

Mint, unused condition. £225 inc. UK p&p.

Unknown Maker. SOUTH AFRICA. "RAPTOR".

This knife is from a Collection that came to me a while ago and I forget the name the Maker. However, the 'fit & finish' and overall quality certainly tells me it is from another of those superb S/African Makers. The blade has a very nice etch of a Raptor, along with a Paw print, which I presume is the Markers signature/logo. The bolsters are s/steel, with a green Pakkawood handle and very thin white liners. The knife is unused but the bolsters show 'hairline' scratches. Blade: 4-1/4 inches. Oal: 9 inches. Complete with a nicely made black leather belt sheath.

V. Good condition. £175 inc. UK p&p.

T. BURGER. SOUTH AFRICA. "TAMBOOTIE UTILITY/HUNTER".

A very well made knife from Trevor Burger, who is known for his high quality workmanship. Excellent grinds, with a handle of native Tambootie wood, set of by very thin black & white liners, with brass fittings. Blade: 3-1/2 inches. Oal: 7-3/4 inches. Complete with original leather sheath.

Mint, unused condition. £250 inc. UK p&p.

SOLD ALAN WOOD. "FRONTIERSMAN".

A knife from the early days of Alan's knifemaking, when he was open to suggestions and willing to make your 'Dream Knife'. For want of  a better word - and for obvious reasons - I've called this knife a 'Frontiersman' and any 'buckskin clad explorer of old' would have been delighted to have this on his belt. I suspect the steel is probably D2 and at 5mm thick, this is a hefty piece. The blade shows light scratches but no tarnish or pitting. The wooden handle could be Walnut and has brass fittings. Blade: 7-1/2 inches. Oal: 12-3/4 inches. Complete with aftermarket sheath.

Good condition.

JOHN EK KNIVES. USA. "MURPHY COMBAT KNIFE".

Made in the early 1990's as a commenmorative copy of the original Murphy combat knives, but having an etched logo on the blade to distinguish them from originals. These knives came in a box with a brown leather sheath, information card and patch, but unfortunately there is only the patch still remaining - perhaps not too surprising after 30+ years. A rare chance to fill a gap in a collection as originals are hard to come by on 'this side of the pond'.

Mint, unused condition. £195 inc. UK p&p

ONTARIO. USA. "QUARTERMASTER ARMY-95".

A discontinued knife from Ontario (now itself deceased) and a modern version of the popular Cattaraugus 225Q knife used by the infantry in WW2. This is a stout knife as befitting the original which was used for opening wooded crates and closing again using the brass pommel. There is no box with this knife but it has the original sheath. Blade:6 inches. Oal:10-3/4 inches. 

Mint, unused condition. New price: £135 inc. UK p&p

SOLD ALAN WOOD. "PCT - Pacific Crest Trail".

A brand new model from Alan. Designed for a customer who was looking for a knife that would cover his needs whilst hiking and overnight camping. Having experience in hiking the famous Appalachian Trail, his next trip was to be the 'Pacific Crest Trail' and he wanted a more robust knife than the pocket knife he previously carried. I'm certain that he would not have been disappointed with this model, with a flat grind blade of premium RWL34 s/steel. This particular example has a slim handle of carbon fibre, with the inner colour exposed, and is offset by a combination of carbon fibre and s/steel pins, with an orange G10 centre pin. Complete with a kydex neck sheath and lanyard. Blade: 3". Oal: 7".

Brand new from Maker.
