Puma Original Bowie knife video review content:
Welcome to this video in which we are going to show and make a short review of a Puma fixed knife called Original Bowie. As you can see, this knife is made by famous Company Puma, based in Solingen Germany. Solingen is a city in Germany, which is most famous for knife making over centuries. And Puma is one of, how to say, really well-known companies for this city and is mainly specialized in hunting knives. Which are precisely made, mostly handmade and have a really high quality. This original Bowie is also handmade. It comes with a certificate, which shows when knife was made, this particular piece was made in 2013, it also shows all the instructions how to sharpen the knife, how to use knife, about warranty information, everything what you have to know about your knife, when you buy one. These instructions are in English and in German.
The knife itself comes in really nice leather, dark brown sheath, which has also a sling for attaching it to the leg or you can also attach it to your belt and then on your leg. It has interesting two safeties for the knife, so even if you unleash this traditional safety the knife still stays in the sheath, so you have to remove this sling and here you go.
This is Original Bowie made by Puma. You can see here, each knife gets measured for the hardness. It was tested here, before it leaves the company. And as you can see, this knife is quite big, it is long, not too heavy and has a traditional Bowie design. It is almost, well it is 28 centimeters long, the blade itself is 15.5 centimeters long, it has a thickness of 4 millimeters and is a one piece, full tang design. The blade goes from here all the way to here, to the end of the handle. It weight 200 grams and is made of 440 C stainless steel, it has a satin finish and for handle material a natural stag horn is used. It has really nice finish and is very durable natural material. Smooth, as you can see in some parts this material is polished, it is not satin anymore like the blade. So it was really a lot of attention was invested in the details in this knife, when it was produced. The knife is handmade, so you can that every piece has some unique features. The knife also has a steel bolster, here, between the handle and the blade. And it has a brass sling hole, and brass bolsters for the handle. It is robust, reliable but still precisely handmade knife made by Puma in Solingen Germany. So, this was a short review of Puma Original Bowie and for more information, please click the link below in the description window of this video.
Truly a classic! I watched my dad use it in my earliest memories, dressing deer and cleaning fish and then I used it for many years, until I lost it and just purchased another one from eBay. Nice review Thanks!
I think that this Puma bowie is the most beautiful knife in the world. It is wonderful!
Great video buddy, thank you!
I love the Puma products. German made!
nice review.. thank you :) now I want one
The thing I noticed about this knife when I held it was the thin, narrow handle which also felt a little short or stubby, like it should have had maybe another inch on it. There just wasn’t enough there, particularly when considering it is on a Bowie style knife which would require a good grip for the use purpose. The sheath is nice but is old world style, meaning no options or flexibility in how you can carry it. Also Puma knives are very expensive. This one is around $400. For that price you don’t get a powdered steel like S35v or even m90 but its just a 440 (1.4114). Overall, the Puma knives are decent but very overpriced for what you get. For the same amount of money as this knife (or less) you can get one with a more advanced steel, a more useful and ergonomic handle, and a sheath with some carry options.
Remember that the European market has much less than America. I own a Puma, Hunter's friend model. They really are beautiful knives incredibly strong. I find the relatively slim handle very pleasing to hold and it also keeps the weight down. This particular blade design is not precisely to my taste I prefer a hologram that goes up higher on the blade or a standard sabre grind goes up higher because I worry that the knife will wear out it's cutting edge over the years with sharpenings. I've owned my Puma for nearly 40 years now. With a Puma you just know you are getting a beautifully made extremely well tempered and strong blade. And you would be hard pushed to have a better looking knife on your side.
Off course ...it's not American made...so it's crap !...mind ..Puma made also thé " Party" knives of the "Third Reich" ...and of course it's a well known fact that Germans have no notice what so ever about decent steel Quality 😉...ever heard of Rhine metal ????
I have one from 1973. Best knife I have. The new ones don't have the riveting on the handle.
I bought this knife in 1983, and the steel is different, in 1983 the steel was not inoxidable, but it was however very beautiful. I never used it, so it appears like new.
Excellent video, thank you. I consider these PUMA made knives the finest handmade knives available for hunting and everyday use. Stunning craftsman ship. I do prefer a high carbon, tool steel blade over 440 stainless due to sharpness retention.
Excellent review !!!
Thank you for the feedback
Excellent proportion bowie not other brands aware of making
Say Heah, I finally called Puma, They pointed me to the German Puma, and my Bowie 2 is a Handmade Solengin German Puma that is the simpliar model to your Bowie but without the Bolster. What attracted me was it's a Saber Vex Grind instead of the Hollow Grind. I bought two Gerber Freeman Hunter and the Caper that look like they were made as a set, Except my Gerber Freeman are in the S30V and the Bowie 2 is in the 440c. Which I'm quite familiar with since I have 440c knives. I am very, very happy how much my three knives match eachother, down to the stag. The size distribution is great to make a usable 3Knife carry, Although I will carry the Puma Bowie 2 on person and the Gerber I will attach to my pack with the saw and Hatchet. OR, I can add my White Handle Himalayan Imports M - 43 Khukuri to the knives since my M-43 is a white bone handle and a excellent chopper. I was saddened at first thinking it was made in the 440a. because I only use my knives around working wood and I need good edge retention. At the end of a tiring day, Tge last thing I want to do is sharpen my knives in the dark. But
God Always is Good
and
Good is Always God.
My favorite knife , please do a review on 116375 PUMA White Hunter !
One more thing, On my Puma 2, The grind appears to be a Saber Grind instead of a Hollow Grind which is ideal what I use my knives for in the bush, I work wood more then I would to dress game. Actually I already teamed my Puma Bowie 2 with my Gerber Freeman Hunter and the Caper both with stag handles and in S30V actually a very nice match by just how the knives are made without bolsters and just blade and the stag Slabs. Again if you can help please and Thank You.
Cool accent you have!
Great review
Hi I have a question in one of your reviews you were saying on the paper in side because it says puma and also puma IP that means it was put together in Spain ? Is that true as well for the Puma Bowie Knife in this video ?
I ordered one yesterday , a few weeks I have to wait !
Little Holmes what a pity you did not order this knife in our store, since we have it in stock and could be shipped immediately.
@@SharpPlanetEu i wish to ordered but im from Serbia ...
How do you order that knife with that sheaf?
The knife looks like your Bowie Original except for the Bolster, Oh, and it's not a Hollow Grind but appears to be a Saber Grind or a Flat.
if it s not a secret- what is test hardness result? :)
The blade is hollowed out concave? It seems to be... if so, be careful with hard work in the mountains... concave casting is less resistant than any other casting (flat, convex and scandi)
Handle Length? in cm
I have this one
Say Heah, I recently, actually about a week ago, I bought a Puma Bowie, It's actually a good looking knife, But with ought the Bolster and the Pommel is plain but the lanyard hole extends out of the pommel a little. The Knife doesn't have any country of origin, but it is etched Solingen Germany and on the box (black) it says Handmade in Forman and English, I read somewhere that it was made on the second half of 2002. But mine is in mint condition, both knife and sheath and I have the original box and the #118396 match's the knife number stamp and on the box. I was just wondering if you would know if my knife is 440c, 440a., or 4.116 Krupp Stainless. I can't find any info on it anymore than I know about it. Judging by the Sheath which is a very quality looking sheath. It's like a simpler trimmed down Bowie. I actually like it. It looks like a well made but simple knife. I like it and that's all that matters, But I would be interested knowing what the blade steel is. Any info would greatly be appreciated. Thanx in advance.
Is it true IP is the knife is put together in Spain
Little Holmes this model in video Puma Bowie is entirely made and checked in Solingen - Germany; like all Puma knives. Puma IP (International Production) models are made in Spain and then quality control is made in Solingen - Germany.
@@SharpPlanetEu IP is international production ! That was new models knives ,but that old in this review is original Puma from Germany.
Hi I noticed in your certification it says IP Puma
I think it's just an advertisement for Puma IP. The original bowie is Puma German.
he saids bowie as you would replace the m with a b in "movie", its prounonced bow-ee
Booowie invented the bow-ee knife. Life moves on.
Он похож на нож бои
Staghorn is a very bad material for knives. The handle is humpbacked and crooked with a bad feeling in a hand because of its used rivets. It also collects dirt, dust and bacteria like no other material.
The original puma Bowie knife was actually from 1975 and it is the one I have. It is high carbon steel. Not stainless
Incorrect. The Puma Bowie was originally introduced in 1958, and up until the early 1980s, was constructed of high carbon steel. After the early 80s, Puma began producing the Bowie in 440C Stainless.
Too short and light.
