Description

The PUMA IP cárabo birch model is a particularly beautiful folding knife with a lockable blade made of rustproof molybdenum-vanadium steel and split handles made of olive and grenadile wood.

 

Due to the nature of natural wood, handles may vary slightly in grain, colour and texture than that shown.

PUMA IP - an international success story

The international production of PUMA - PUMA IP - is based on the successful collaboration between PUMA Solingen with selected Spanish and international partner-manufacturers.

Design, production supervision, and quality control is performed by PUMA, the knives are made by our partner-manufacturers. The result is a balanced range of knives for hunting and trekking activities in the best price-performance ratio.

The Mediterranean influence can clearly be seen in many knives. Apart from classic staghorn scales used by PUMA, many of the IP knives are provided with wooden scales - in many cases olive wood is used. This rugged, southern European wood is extremely suitable, as it is very tough and durable.

Sharpening

Use a diamond tool or a wet stone for sharpening. Place the knife bevel flat to the sharpening tool and work the entire blade. Work one side until you can feel a slight burr on the opposite side. Switch side and repeat the procedure until you feel the burr on the first side. You have now established an edge.

Remove the burr by stroking the blade gently over the sharpening surface on both sides, as if cutting very thin slices. Keep the bevel flat towards the sharpener and move from side to side until the burr is gone.

If the blade is very dull or damaged, use a fine-grained grindstone and plenty of water and sharpen until you have a raw edge. Use much cooling liquid and never sharpen on a dry stone. A hot-ground edge looses its heat treatment and ruins the blade.
