History of the Model
The Model 7 was designed as a scaled-down version of the Model 3 Hunter.

Almost immediately, the idea of a scaled-down version of the new Hunter dawned on Bo Randall as an ideal knife for his fellow anglers. An avid fisherman since his youth, Bo regarded this new knife as a labor of love and immediately set to work on the project. At first he tried 4- and 4.5-inch blades, but then opted for the 4 1/2-inch one. Bo wanted the right handle for cleaning brook trout and similar sized fish, so he reduced the size of the handle of the new Hunter and changed its shape. Naturally, he called this model the "Fisherman," and some early prototypes with 4-inch blades were delivered to some dealers during the latter part of September 1945.

Iconic knife produced by Puma and dating back to the late 1980s, characterized by a then very modern line and a very advanced steel for the time (154CM).  Knife withdrawn from private collection - Overall in very good condition - Never used, never sharpened, still with factory sharpening - A few small marks on the right side handle, in concomitance with the sheath that goes to hook the knife through a pin that tends to irreparably rub the handle itself - Supplied with original wooden case and leather sheath - Checked and certified by our internal laboratory Coltelleria Collini
