Puma Knives made outside of Germany.

The movie knife of choice for a classic survival movie:

The Sands of the Kalahari starring Stuart Whitman as the maniac survivalist brandishing an original PUMA WHITE HUNTER

What really bugs me is that all of these PUMA knives made in Spain just look like other Spanish made knives from all the familiar Spanish companies and there is nothing German about any of them, except the name.

Maybe it's like Siegfried Rosenkaimer (from LINDER Knives) once said in a 2007 interview that the knife industry in Germany regarding Solingen production, can not compete with the overseas market due to the high cost of labour.

Nieto (in Spain) for example are making PUMA knives and so is Cudeman from the looks of these generic designs, along with Aitor. Some of these so called PUMA's are identical to the same models but in Spanish from these manufacturers, just with different LASER engravings.

PUMA no longer seem to manufacture with their famous jacaranda wood either, they used to use, now just using wild plum or plum wood. It looks good the plum wood but not as good as jacaranda and let's face it jacaranda grows like weeds and it's easy to get large trees. Ok maybe not grown in Germany because it is too cold.
