I've never put the knife through any serious tests as I think it's design is laughable.
Now I am thinking maybe I should, the blade shape isn't too much different then the CRKT M1 lightfoot design just much bigger, and I do like the M1 as it is my current EDC

Maybe try something like cutting strips of cardboard to check edge retention?
That is a good way to figure out if the heat treat is good?

Thinking of sharpening it up nice and then to a comparison with the DM.
The knife has a very thick spine

I don’t understand the Puma White Hunter. It is supposed to have been designed with advice by African professional hunters. What uses did they have in mind for it?

There is a think spot on the spine that you could use for batoning, but the rough splitting blade is right next to it. It has a skinning curve on a six inch blade. Maybe that works for skinning elephant and rhino? It’s too long for a skinner in my book. And why sharpen the blade on top of the skinning curve? To help you open the guts by mistake? Most of the knife is double edged, which makes choking up on the blade for fine work risky.

It’s a beautiful knife. It’s a great wall hanger. Maybe it gives you bragging rights. But what is it for?

I like that blade shape Coyote. These guys I picked up on a sale, US carbon Marbles.

Marbles are still around and Bark River makes a version called the Lil'boone

I passed on these and shouldn't have. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />
