Hunters and connoisseurs of the PUMA knife manufactory appreciate our classic ‘waidbesteck’, which was developed by OFM Walter Frevert in the middle of the last century. It is still part of traditional hunting equipment today. However, we at PUMA do not only see ourselves as preservers of inherited traditions, but also want to bring new traditions to life!

Following the successful launch of the three HUNT TO SURVIVE knife models, which PUMA developed in collaboration with Frankonia and the three adventurers John, Philipp and Niklas, we are now introducing our modern interpretation of the ‘waidbesteck’. These knives are faithful companions that withstand extreme situations and offer reliable support, not only in the wilderness of Canada (youtube: Hunt to survive).

We now also offer the PUMA Steelstar and Keiler models with a combination leather sheath so that you can always carry both knives on your belt or on your equipment without losing them. The small PUMA Steelstar is a perfect back-up knife and also masters filigree cutting tasks. The skeletonised design also makes it light and easy to handle. The large PUMA Kiler is perfect for bushcraft or outdoor use, demanding tasks such as chopping wood, gutting game or cutting thick materials are no problem for the solid blade. The G10 handle offers a secure grip. The PUMA waidbesteck HUNT TO SURVIVE is reliably stored in the accompanying high-quality combi saddle leather sheath. What is your next adventure?

Both knives are made in Solingen.
