THIS IS A VINTAGE MADE PUMA TWO KNIFE SET. IT IS CALLED A PUMA WAIDBESTECK SUPER SET. BOTH KNIVES HAVE THE CONTROL NUMBERS STAMPED ON THE GUARDS, # 96744 (MADE IN 1969). IS STAMPED PUMA SOLINGEN GERMANY. THIS VINTAGE PUMA SET WAS MADE 53 YEARS AGO AND HAS NEVER BEEN USED, RESHARPENED OR CARRIED. THE ONLY FLAW THAT I SEE IS THE LARGE BLADE AND SMALLER BLADE SHOW SOME SCRATCHES ON THEM FROM TAKING OUT AND PUTTING BACK IN THE SHEATH (SEE PICTURES) A VERY TIGHT FIT. BOTH BLADES ARE 100% FULL. BOTH BLADES ARE STILL SHINY AND VERY SHARP. THE LARGE BLADE MEASURES 8-1/2″ WITH A 2″ FALSE EDGE ON TOP AND IS STAMPED ORIGINAL – PUMA – WAIDBLATT NACH OBERFORSTER FREVERT BEST NO. THE SMALLER KNIFE BLADE IS STAMPED ORIGINAL- PUMA NICKER VOM WAIDBESTECK NACH OBERFORSTMEISTER FREVERT INOX BEST. 35881/2 – GERMANY – HANDABEIT. THE HANDLES ARE VERY NICE, DEEP GROOVED DARK VERY THICK AND BEAUTIFUL STAG WITH A LOT OF CHARACTER, NO CRACKS, CHIPS OR ANY IMPERFECTIONS ON EITHER KNIFE. BOTH KNIVES HAVE BRASS LINERS AND BEAUTIFUL NICKEL SILVER FRONT GUARDS AND REAR POMMELS, ALL TIGHT AND RIGHT WITH SILVER SHIELD (ON LARGE KNIFE) AND LARGE BRATTED PINS.

THIS PUMA SET IS 53 YEARS OLD AND ANYONE WOULD BE LUCKY TO EVER FIND ANOTHER IN THE CONDITION THIS SET IS IN. THIS SET COMES WITH THE ORIGINAL WOODEN BOX. THE OLD FOAM HAD DISINTEGRATED, BUT IT WAS REPLACED WITH NEW MATERIALS. THIS VINTAGE SET IS VERY NICE AND TIGHT. HERE IS A LITTLE HISTORY BY A VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE PUMA COLLECTOR: THE WAIDBLATT BEARING THE NUMBER 3588 HAS BEEN PRODUCED BY PUMA FOR DECADES. THE WAIDBLATT IS ONE OF THE MOST POWERFUL AND LARGEST KNIVES MADE BY PUMA. IT WAS CREATED IN THE 50’S WITH THE HELP OF WALTER FREVERT. THE WAIDBESTECK (SUPER SET) CARRIES THE NUMBER 3588 1/2 WHICH LATER WAS CHANGED AGAIN TO THE NUMBER 3587. THE KNIVES COME IN THE VINTAGE STYLE 1970’S FACTORY WOOD PRESENTATION BOX WITH THE PRODUCT INFORMATION SHEET. EACH PUMA KNIFE WAS HAND MADE IN SOLINGEN GERMANY AT PUMA WERKS. PUMA MAKES ONE OF THE HIGHEST QUALITY KNIVES MADE. ANY QUESTIONS JUST ASK, AND THANKS FOR LOOKING!
