Bob Lum’s PUMA Plainsman 970. 

This Puma is 50+ years old.  I used to collect copies/clones of the Buck 110.  I was visiting Bob Lum in Eugene about 40 years ago and I mentioned my little collection.  He rummaged through a drawer in his shop, produced this knife and gave it to me.  He said he carried it in Viet Nam. According to the Puma website this knife was made in 1969.

Engraved on the wood is:  SP5 ROBERT W. LUM   28810622

Bob was, of course, a noted knife maker and designer for the likes of Spyderco and Benchmade, among others. His website: http://www.boblumknives.com/.

You may not be able to afford a Bob Lum-made knife, but you can own a Bob Lum-carried knife, and a really nice old Puma to boot.

The knife is in very good condition with a very strong spring.
