Product Description

Discover the timeless power of a German legend with the PUMA IP Elch Micarta, model 841178. Though discontinued, this knife continues to stand out for its performance, craftsmanship, and enduring reputation. Forged in Solingen—where water-powered forges once shaped the heart of Europe’s cutlery industry—this blade reflects a heritage dating back to 1769 and the founding legacy of Johann Wilhelm Lauterjung.

Engineered for hunters and craftsmen, the Elch Micarta features a 130 mm blade made from premium 440C stainless steel. With a 3.5 mm spine and hardness of 57–60 HRC, it delivers a strong balance of durability, edge retention, and cutting precision.

The Micarta handle is designed for secure, all-weather performance. Its layered construction offers excellent grip even in wet or challenging conditions, while remaining comfortable during prolonged use. Nickel silver bolsters enhance durability and add a refined, classic finish, reinforcing the knife’s premium construction.

A handcrafted black saddle leather sheath ensures safe and reliable carry, making the knife suitable for field use or display in a collection. While no longer in production, the Elch Micarta remains a respected piece among enthusiasts, collectors, and outdoor users who value traditional German craftsmanship.
