Solingen Puma Knives - The History

By 1900, the company was officially called "PUMA-Werk, Lauterjung und Sohn". When World War II started, the factory was placed under the government to produce war supplies which lasted until the end of the war when the company returned to manufacturing civilian pocket and household knives. The company began to focus only in high quality fishing, outdoor and hunting knives when a certain Oswald von Frankenberg und Ludwigsor have joined the company in the year 1953. He then worked with Germans and other nationalities in creating knives that have earned international awards and recognition.

One of the most famous hunting knives present on the market today is the Puma Universal Jagtaschenmesser, which was made with the cooperation with Puma Knives and the former head of the Rominten state hunting ground and also, the current President of the International Bloodhound Federation. Puma currently seeks to focus on five categories of knives for the consumers; hunting, trekking, hunting folders, sporting folders, fishing knives, and accessories such as sheaths, sharpening stones and pouches. Puma Knives is known for etching the number, name and year of manufacture on the blade, which makes older knives as highly collectible items. Puma knives are known for being more expensive than the other brands, but it is due to the fact that they hand-make each blade and use only the highest grade steel and materials.

Two of the most famous Puma Knives brands include the Bowie and Damascus knives. The Bowie is 11 inches long with a 6 1/9 inch long blade. It is very elegant, with the stag horn as the handle and a single finger guard very much like the traditional American frontier knives.
