The Microtech Socom Elite is one of the most iconic folding knives produced by Microtech, prized for its combination of durability, ergonomics, and reliability. Designed for professional and tactical use, over the years it has also established itself as a benchmark among collectors and enthusiasts of high-end cutlery.

The model presented here, manufactured in 2019, features a blade made of Carpenter CTS-204P steel, one of the best high-performance stainless steel alloys in its class, known for its excellent edge retention, high corrosion resistance, and outstanding wear resistance. The black/dual-tone finish contributes to its particularly aggressive and professional appearance.

The aluminum handle with non-slip inserts ensures a firm and comfortable grip even under the most demanding conditions, while the manual thumb stud opening system and the proven liner lock mechanism guarantee quick deployment and safety during use.

Puma 6356 Original Bowie - A Unique Collector's Knife

The Puma 12 6356 is a remarkable vintage hunting knife known for its sturdiness, quality workmanship and excellent durability. Made in Germany from Pumaster steel, a high-performance alloy steel, this knife offers an ideal combination of hardness, wear resistance, and reliability. Pumaster approaches the performance of modern steels such as D2, with a similar composition that includes good carbon and chromium content. Although it does not reach the hardness of modern ultra-high performance steels, Pumaster is still able to maintain an exceptional edge over the long term, showing superior corrosion resistance compared to pure carbon steels such as 1095 or C75.

With a blade measuring nearly 10 inches long and an overall length of more than 15 inches, the Puma 12 6356 is an imposing knife that does not go unnoticed. Its nickel silver through-guard and rosewood handle give the knife a sophisticated look, while the quality of its craftsmanship ensures durable performance. 

This specimen, which appears to have never been used, is in excellent condition and is complete with its original box and leather sheath - special feature of the latter is that it is still marked “Western Germany,” which dates it pre-1986.

It is an ideal choice for any collector. Not only a high-quality hunting knife, but a true collector's item for fans of vintage Puma items.
