Together with MESSER MAGAZIN, we held a design competition for a fixed-blade hunting and outdoor knife. We set the following criteria: It should be a flat tang construction; the blade length should not exceed eleven centimeters; the blade should have a drop point, spear point, or skinner shape; the knife should have brass or nickel silver bolsters/hand guard; the handle scales should be made of a natural material such as stag horn or wood, alternatively Micarta can also be used; the sheath should be made of leather.
From the numerous design proposals, a jury consisting of the management and the editorial team of Messer Magazin made a preliminary selection of twelve designs. This was presented to the readers in the issue 03/2018. The readers chose the design by Olaf Zwätz as the winner. The winning design is named: “PUMA ben” and has been implemented almost according to the designer's specifications. Our team and Mr. Zwätz discussed and talked about the details and the best possible implementation from a production perspective. In the end, a hunting and outdoor knife with Sandvik 14C28N steel (first edition) / now CPM S90V steel and elegantly shaped nickel silver bolsters was created. The flat tang construction features a nearly ten-centimeter long drop point blade with a flat grind. The handle scales are made of traditional stag horn and the sheath is made of brown saddle leather.
The knife is delivered in a black wooden box and with a certificate.
Since we process natural products, color and structure variations are possible - each knife is unique.
