I have decided for no particular reason that it is time for a new knife. I haven't bought one in over a year so I am due. For some reason I have focused on a Puma brand, fixed blade. Either the Coyote Stag or the Elk Hunter Stag, one has a finger grove for the index finger the other is a smooth handle. I don't know if I will be able to find a store near me that has one or both in stock to handle. Anybody have any experience with the Puma's especially the ones I listed. This will be a using knife, one I plan to keep for many years, not as a safe queen though.
