Many moons ago, in the very early 2000s I bought this Puma knife from a moderately hardcore hunting, fishing and camping store in the UK. I recall them saying it was old stock hence an OKish price.
I've not been able to find out much about it at all - it seems strangely absent from the Internet. Identifying mark on the (matte) blade are 280560 Handmade Puma Task Force Stainless.
The opening action on the blade is, to put it mildly, beautiful. Smooth, very lightly but perfectly spring and hasn't loosened at all in the intervening years, despite use in oceans, deserts and mud. The steel holds an edge for ages no matter what I do to it, and is relatively easy to sharpen.
Might any one have any further info on the thing? In particular, what kind of steel is used in it, whether it is a German made Puma, or one of the Spanish ones. Also would be intrigued to learn what they've used for the matte finish on the blade, because it looks as good as new despite the life it's had.
