Puma 6390 Auto Knife made in 1972.
The designation "Auto" meant that the knife could also be installed in your car with a special sheath that was available as an accessory.
The knife came from a retired hunter who used it quite a lot back in the day, but the knife spent the last 25 years in storage.
I gave it a new edge at about 30 degrees inclusive, put a thorough coat of warm Granger's wax on the leather sheath and made a new thong.

Blade length: 15,0 cm
Blade thickness: 5,5 mm

Awesome, thanks for showing..

The Scout Knife was the first knife I ever got, too bad I don't have it anymore. And your Skinner looks exactly like mine, same logo, no Serial number. Although I doubt mine is that old.

Silver Lion. Die Scheide ist von Böker, gehörte zum Integral I. Dem passte sie nicht, dem Silver Lion aber perfekt. Die Scheide des Silver Lion passt wie angegossen zu einem Benchmade 180. Und dem Böker hab ich dann eine neue genäht.

Vor noch nicht all zu langer Zeit (OK - ein paar Jahre ist's her, aber nicht viele; vielleicht 5 oder 6?) konnte man die für +/- 200 - 220 Euro erwerben; inzwischen sind die abartig teuer. :( Das GEK ist ein tolles Messer, und die Puma-Variante ist m.W. deutlich besserals die von Schlieper.
