Re: Foreign Fixed Blade Knives
Hey Paladin, that good lookin' Eye Brand you got there was called a "waidmesser" or gamekeeper. I have one that was made by Puma (pre 1964). Really cool knives.

Re: Foreign Fixed Blade Knives
Never been one much for imported FB's prefering more domestic types like Bark Rivers, Beckers, Rangers, and the like. But, I have developed a fondness for Helle's.....

Superb knives. I tried a Mora and wasn't all that impressed, but I also got a Marttiini and I am really liking those as well.......

Re: Foreign Fixed Blade Knives
Nice Helles. The Moras are a decent knife for what they cost but not in the same league with Helle.

Correction---My Puma Displays are circa 1972. This represents all patterns imported by Bruckmann in 1972.

Re: Foreign Fixed Blade Knives
Imported by Gutmann not Bruckmann. Maybe I'll get it right someday.

Re: Foreign Fixed Blade Knives
Those Puma displays are SWEET!
Awesome Cowboy Bowie knife, smiling!
Here's some of my German Pumas. The fixed blades are a '71 White Hunter, a recent Original Bowie, a 1993 Hunter's Pal and a new Python. Their stag is pretty nice and they are well-made knives with durable sheaths and good metal. I'm a fan!

Re: Foreign Fixed Blade Knives
Paladin do you have a sheath for that knife? That as one of the coolest looking knives I have seen in a while.

Here's a few pics of a vintage PUMA most likely late 1950's early 1960's before PUMA's dating system

As they say in Italy, Italians were eating with a knife and fork when the French were still eating each other. The Medici family had to bring their Tuscan cooks up there so they could make something edible
