Under Water Knife - Unterwassermesser

PUMA Under Water knife, the model number is 6329. This model was used for diving and boating and is pre 1964. The handle is made from cork. PUMA made two handle types with cork. One was a dense cork and the other model had a smooth cork handle. It also has a fish scaler on the spine.

The reason the handle was made from cork so it would float in water if it was accidentally dropped. This PUMA model is pictured in the PUMA 1940 catalog. These two knives are from the 1940’s and 1950’s.
