Together with MESSER MAGAZIN, we held a design competition for a fixed hunting and outdoor knife. We specified these criteria: It should be a full tang construction; the blade length should not be longer than eleven centimeters; the blade should be a drop point, spear point or skinner shape; the knife should have bolsters/handguard made of brass or nickel silver; the handle scales should be made of a natural material such as stag horn or wood, alternatively Micarta can also be used; the sheath should be made of leather.

From the numerous design proposals, a jury consisting of the management and the editorial staff of Messer Magazin made a pre-selection of twelve designs. These were presented to the readers in issue 03/2018. The readers chose Olaf Zwätz's design as the winner. The winning design is called: "PUMA ben" and has been implemented almost exactly according to the designer's specifications. Our team and Mr. Zwätz discussed the finer details and the best possible implementation from a production perspective. The result is a hunting and outdoor knife with Sandvik 14C28N steel (first edition) / now CPM S90V steel and elegantly shaped nickel silver bolsters. The full tang construction has a drop point blade with a flat grind, almost ten centimeters long. The handle scales are made of traditional stag horn and the sheath is made of brown saddle leather.

The knife comes in a black wooden box and with a certificate.
