PLEASE READ THIS !

PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE ENTERING THE WEBSITE!
As of March 1st 2010 I have taken my full Retirement & this website is back to being what it was meant to be when I started it, A HOBBY! I started this website about 8 years ago and it soon turned into a 24-7 job. But it is now back to being a hobby!
Being retired I will be in & out of town quite often, sometimes a week or more at a time (going to knife shows, fishing, hunting & spending time with my family) & this computer is NOT going with me. That means I will not have a chance to check or to answer my emails or my phone, as I have in the past.
Due to the new time constraints I will be forced to answer ONLY the questions that pertain directly to knife purchases or sales. If you have a knife or knives you would like to sell or if you are looking to buy a knife from me, please feel free to contact me, but Please Be patience, it may be awhile before I get back to you. I deeply regret having to do this as I know that your questions are important to you, & amp; I have always enjoyed answering them for my fellow Puma Collectors, But time is no longer allowing me to answer your questions on a one on one basis.
Also, my wife & I just started building a new house & it's taking most all of my time. Plus I am in the process of trying to write a book about Puma Knives, but it is a very slow and time consuming project, and the only way I can see to gain more time for the book is to stop answering all of the email questions about knives! (unless they are directly related to buying or selling). Again I regret having to do this but it's the only way I can see to gain the time to finish the book & our house. From the way it's going it may be 3 or 4 years before the book is finished, but I am sure that most of your questions will probably be answered in the book once it's done. I will let you know when it is finished.
With that said, I hope you enjoy the website & Please feel free to leave your comments at the bottom of the page. NO QUESTIONS! This is a comment section, questions will not be answered!
Sincerely Brent

Frequently Asked Questions

• This Is Not A Question BUT
• IT May Answer A Lot Of Questions
• The PUMA Chronicle
• :}1769 Johann Wilhelm Lauterjung writes down his trademark in the knife makers role of Solingen - the PUMA history started.
• :}1855 His great-grandchild Nathanael (1815-1865) moved the production to the nearby city of Solingen
• :}1876 His son, Ernst Otto Lauterjung (1855-1931) for the first time also manufactures pocket-knives, stilettos, sabers and hunting knives in an additional small factory.
• :}1900 On May 26th the name "PUMA-Werk, Lauterjung und Sohn" is written down on the Solingen register of companies.
• :}1920 The sons Eugen (1883-1961) and Franz (1888-1976) build a second plant in Solingen and push the export. So PUMA got known internationally before the II. World War.
• :}1936-1945 During the second World War the production is put under the authority of the war industry.
• :}1946 Return to the civilian production of pocket- and household knives.
• :}1953 Oswald von Frankenberg and Ludwigsdorf (1915-1986), husband of Renate Lauterjung, changes the production on functional hunting-, fishing-, outdoor- and sporting knives. In cooperation with top forestry commissioner Walter Frevert, a number of PUMA classics are developed (Waidbesteck, Jagdnicker, Waidmesser, Universal hunting knife and Hog Spear). The bloodhound leader Tassius designs the Rüdemann and the Wildtöte.
• :}1956 PUMA develops the White Hunter model for the East african hunting organization.
• :}1965 PUMA introduces the number (date code) system. Every model gets an examining number of its own, incl. guarantee exercise book, with production year.
• :}1967 Renate von Frankenberg takes over the management in the PUMA-Werk.
• :}1986 Oswald von Frankenberg and Ludwigsdorf dies and leaves an economically highly profitable and internationally recognized enterprise behind.
• :}1991 Sale of PUMA-Werk to the Solinger family Hindrichs.
• :}1995 Harald Lauer, already active in the enterprise since the end of the seventies, becomes Managing director of PUMA-Werk. Under his management new production methods are forced, e.g. CNC controllers and laser technology.
• :}1998 Sale to businessman Heiner Hiepass-Aryus and removal to the modern industrial area "Auferhöhe".
• :}2003 Next to the classic line PUMA offers its customers a series of very qualitative knives in traditional design under the label "PUMA IP" ( PUMA International Production).
• Question: When did Puma discontinue using the green & yellow plastic boxes?
• Answer:  To start with we need to go back a little further in time. Puma started using the green plastic top box with a gold cardboard bottom in the early mid 60's. In 1971 they switched from the cardboard bottom to the yellow plastic bottom still using the same green plastic top. In the late 1980's early 1990's they started putting some of their knives in green cardboard boxes which eventually took over the green & yellow plastic boxes about 1993 or 1994. I have seen both green cardboard & green & yellow plastic in 1993 & 1994 so ether could be correct. The green cardboard was discontinued in 1996 & the black cardboard boxes that are still in use today were introduced. 
• A little note, Some of the older knives & a few of the new ones did not come in boxes. They came in a cellophane (plastic) bag. The scout knives were an example of this, they were shipped in a bag, never seen one in a box.  So BEWERE if someone is trying to sell you a Puma that was made in say 1997 or 1998 that is in a green & yellow plastic box! IT'S NOT CORRECT!!!  I would be suspicious of anything made after 1994 that's in a plastic box.
• Question: I have been told that Puma made springer's, [automatics]! Back in the 1950s, and that they appear similar to Hubertus, Boker, & Bonsa lever-lock springer's. Is that true?
• Answer: Yes they did, and they are extremely rare! and you have to be very careful when looking at one to buy, as most of the ones I have seen for sale have been FAKE .
• Question: What is the difference between a Model 6377 and a Model 6375 White Hunter?
• Answer: The first W/Hunters, model 6377's were made of carbon steel or PUMASTER STEEL as it is called. In 1980 Puma introduced a new Stainless steel version and called it the 6375. No other differences but blade material.
• Question: What year was the White Hunter introduced?
• Answer: The Famous, Puma White Hunter, was introduced in 1956, and is still in production today.
• Question: Where Are Puma Knives Made?
  Answer: The older and more collectible ones, were HAND made in Solingen Germany. Today some of the Puma knives are made in Spain.
• Question: When were Puma knives first imported into the U.S.?
• Answer: Puma Knives were first imported into the U.S. in 1957 by Kurt Gutmann, founder of Gutmann Cutlery Inc.
• Question: Is the back (top) of a puma white hunter supposed to be cutting sharp?
• Answer: No, It is used for chopping and hacking brush and bone and such, so you don't have to dull the real (main) cutting edge.
  You could sharpen it if you want, but it not cutting sharp from the factory.
• Question: What were the years of production for Puma White Hunter Model 6384? Were date codes used on this model, as with 6377, 6399, etc.?
• Answer: Date codes were used on this model, just as they were on the other models. As for the years of production, all I can tell you is , they were made prior to 1964 and at least up until the late 60s.
• Question: Were all Puma knives made after 1964 serial numbered or date coded?
• Answer:  No!!! There were a number of models that Puma made after 1964 that were NOT date coded along with all of the models of the Scout Knives, Scout Knives were never date coded.
