This is a PUMA Bowie Knife 116396 made in 1996 (date code 52962). This knife has never been sharpened, used or carried. It still has the Rockwell hardness sticker on it. Stag is great and has no chips or cracks and is 1 inch thick at the widest part. T is no box. Sheath is great with no cuts or scratches on the outside.
