The Falknersheil is one of PUMA’s most beautiful and sought-after hunting knives. The notch, which is light blue marks the cutting edge from tip of the blade to the notch. This knife is used for falconry and was developed with the help of several experienced falconers and especially by Horst Niesters in the early 1970s. The blade is intended to chop up food for the birds and to kill the game brought by the falcon.

The handles are made from Rio jacaranda wood that ends towards the blade point with a German silver bolster and finger guard. The blade is made from Pumaster stainless steel. The blade has a fuller groove on both sides for humane dispatch of the prey.
