Hunting FixedFixed Blade

Puma's 240th-anniversary take on the White Hunter, with olive wood scales riveted to a full tang and nickel-silver bolsters where the standard knife wears stag. The blade is fractionally longer and the knife heavier at 9.81 oz, and it keeps the hatchet edge ground into the spine for splitting and chopping bone. Stag is the traditional look; olive wood is the one you can replace if it cracks.

Why a drop point

The default hunting and EDC shape, and the safest general answer. The spine curves down to the tip in a convex line, which keeps the point low and strong and leaves plenty of belly for skinning. It is hard to make a drop point bad at anything.
