There are some awesome knives posted here.

Congrats to all of the owners.

This is a Puma 725 four star  ****.It's the size of a Buck 112 Ranger.  The handle had some rather obvious and large cracks. So  I was able to buy it at 60 to 70% below retail.I resolved,to a large degree the "cracks" issue.This was 25 years ago.I still have the green and yellow plastic box in which it was shipped from Germany.

Looks easy to clean after using on fish or other such things. Any multiple bladed models?

No multi blade options, with M390 that might start getting a little pricey.
Maybe someday something will come about.

This is a Gerber Magnum Folding Hunter from 1983.I still have the receipt and box for this knife among other knives that I bought at the same time.

The Gerber family was very influential in the knife business for decades.Knife makers such as Pete Kershaw and Al Mar once worked for Pete Gerber,before they struck out on their own to start their companies.

Nice Gerber ToolGuy!      :like:     I once owned one of those. Bought in the late seventies if I remember correctly. I was a good knife but had trouble with the fingers grooves so I eventually sold it to someone.

I bought two of these in 1983.I gave one to a guy who was working for me.He did such an outstanding job that month,that I felt he deserved something special.

Thought I'd post this one up for your viewing pleasure.Custom made by someone who had the talent but for some strange reason did not stamp his name on it.Blade is flat ground with a convex edge and machined nail mark. Handles appear to be Brazilian rosewood and are dovetailed as are the bolsters which requires only one pin at the extreme rear to hold the handles in place.Thick brass liners are slightly beveled on the edges to allow the blade to close without catching on them.Not a locking blade and there is no sideplay at all in the blade.
