Franz-Albrecht zu Oettingen-Spielberg – Hunting tradition meets modern practice
Franz-Albrecht zu Oettingen-Spielberg, born on September 16, 1982, in Munich, comes from the long-established noble family of Oettingen-Spielberg. From a young age, he was introduced to hunting by his father, a passionate hunter and successful Olympic Trap shooter. He quickly developed a high level of marksmanship and hunting precision. His great passion is driven hunts, especially for wild boar. With his exceptional shooting technique, his instinct for game, and his strong hunting ethics, he has made a name for himself throughout Europe. Today, he is considered one of the best-known and most accomplished hunters in Europe, combining tradition with modern hunting methods.
His great passion is for the 5 main species of ungulates: red deer, fallow deer, mouflon, wild boar and roe deer.
This model is perfect for the demanding task of hunting red deer: a robust construction for reliable handling, yet balanced for precise cuts. Designed to work cleanly on larger animals. Hunting knives should possess excellent stability. This principle has been consistently implemented in our PUMA "red deer" knife. The result is a heavy-duty all-rounder with a strong, flat-ground blade and a full tang that extends through the handle, fitted with substantial staghorn scales. A solid nickel silver guard serves as hand protection. These features make the "red deer" suitable for even the toughest cutting tasks, ensuring it will never let its owner down.
This exceptional Franz-Abrecht zu Oettingen-Spielberg (FAOS) edition includes the PUMA red deer knife with a cognac-colored leather sheath. The FAOS logo and individual numbering of the knife are also featured on the reverse of the main blade (The knives are numbered consecutively.
