Puma SGB Gentleman Jacaranda Wood Pocket Knife – Review

Opinoin

USA – -(AmmoLand.com)- Now and then I do a Product Review on something out of my comfort zone or else I’m always only reaching people with my exact same taste. Today will be such a review since we’re covering the Puma SGB Gentleman Wood folder.

Puma SGB Gentleman Jacaranda Wood Pocket Knife

Ever since high school I have carried a big folder. A lot of my preference is for self-protection reasons but at least 50% of the reason is because a larger folder can better handle my day to day tasks. Especially in a pinch in case I have to skin an animal. Most of the Puma folders have a thin profile so they are not at all bulky to carry, so why not carry one with a bigger blade is my reasoning.

But for those of you that do favor a small pocket knife (Or as they call them, a gentleman’s pocket knife) the Puma SGB Gentleman Wood folder should fit the bill. It looks like a miniature Puma Warden. It has the brass bolsters, wood handle and the sleek look, just smaller. So if you want a classy looking knife to carry in your suit pants this is the one. And yet it has a nice clip point and locking blade.

It is listed as having a 2.3-inch clip point which may not sound too small but in real life, it definitely fits in the small class of folders. Consequently, I have a harder time gripping it but for daily tasks such as cleaning your fingernails, opening letters, chip bags, etc. it will work.

Again, I want to re-iterate, it is a nice-looking knife. So if you want to buy someone a nice gift that will impress them but not break the bank, the Puma SGB Gentleman Wood folder will fit the bill. Especially since it comes in with a MSRP of only $24.99.

And as is usual, we will close with the specs.
