Dad's Puma Knife

When we were in Germany back in the early 1960's my dad bought a Puma knife from the Rod and Gun Club. I ran across it today, and had to take some
photos. Dad passed away on Father's Day 1998.

Very cool, brings back memories. My dad had a nice Puma he got in the 60's also. Unfortunately, some $&*&%$* broke in and stole it - while he was struggling with a brain tumor to boot.

some wonderful quality knives that will last a life time if taken care of. I am sure every time you look at them, it reminds you of your Dad (RIP), how cool is that? A strong Dad and a family legacy is what keeps this great country moving in the right direction.
imho, Knifes and watches are very cool stuff to pass on to children.

nice detailed pics as well.

Thank you for your post Mike! It's the sentimental value that you can't put a $ figure on.
