I have a Puma White Hunter that has only been used once to cut para cord and trim 3 twigs to roast marsh mallows. I've only taken this knife out in the field 2 or 3 times.
I bought the knife from a reputable dealer in the States.
The knife is MINT but the shealth has a couple of marks - I managed to nick the top stitch on the sheath and used a lighter to stop the thread from fraying/pulling through - close up pictures below - at the time this did not matter to me as it was going to be a "user". The thread is prevented from pulling through by a rivit - my other half is a saddler and she said that this should not be a problem.
When the knife was delivered the box had a hole in it see pictures. The Puma Certification details "The New Puma System" - showing a knife that comes to pieces - not sure if this is normal?
I have had the knife in the draw for about 18 months covered in Ren Wax. The blade has no marks except the Rockwell test mark. The stag horn scales are also unmarked.
And yes you can shave your arm hair with it
Not sure what I would swap it for - but I would like to find a good home for this beautiful knife where it would get put to good use.
Here's the marks on the sheath: -
Any questions or if you need other pictures please PM or ask on thread.
Phil.
