I purchased this knife back in 2000. After endless of hunting for a knife that would hold up in everyday use. I had finally found it in the whole Puma line of knives. This knife has help me from work to the woods and even staying in the wilderness over night chopping wood for camp fires. I can't say enough about the quality of steel, skill and dedication that goes into the work that Puma employees put into their knives. This particular knife has served me well and continues to be my side every time I hit the woods. Thanks Puma for a excellent product.
