PUMA: 960 CUB






  • Vintage 960 Cub (~30yrs old)
  • Date Code: 25082 (2nd 1/2 of 1980)
  • Used knife.  This knife needs a good cleaning (I am unsure what cleaning permanently damages the knife, so I will do none.  The action is very tight (not a surprise given the age and the need for a good cleaning).  There is no blade play that I can detect.  
  • Blade is in good condition.  There is a small "pit" near the thumb slot.  Writing is clean.  Edge looks to be user sharpened.  There are no nicks in the blade edge visible with the naked eye.  There is a small "dent" or dipple near the lock bar.  
  • Scales: No major scratches or dents in the wood.  
  • Bolsters: Believed to be brass.  There is a bit of tarnish on them.  No major nicks or deep scratches.
