To start, I would immediately mention that this knife is very sharp, even after a few weeks of rougher handling and use. The sharpness of the blade is mainly due to the high-quality carbon steel D2, which holds this property perfectly. The knife is suitable for everyday carry. It can be secured thanks to a clip, which is sturdy enough that you don't have to worry about the knife falling somewhere. The knife is equipped with a liner lock system. The blade opens very easily with almost zero resistance. The handle is made of G10 material.
Something about the PUMA-TEC company
PUMA-TEC is a German company, whose history dates back to 1769. The company is based in the German city of Solingen. It is one of the oldest and highest-quality brands in this "knife city". The company also founded the Puma Collectors Club, whose members enjoy benefits such as being able to reserve knives from special numbered collector series.
G10 Material
G10 is a material made from multiple layers of fiberglass, which are soaked in epoxy resin. It is then processed under high pressure and temperature. This creates a strong and hard material. At the same time, it is also light and pleasant to the touch. G10 is one of the most widely used materials for making handles for high-quality folding knives.
D2 Carbon Steel
This tool steel is designed for cutting other steels and is one of the best steels for knives. It holds an edge excellently, but it also requires care. It is therefore good to dry the knife thoroughly after washing and to wipe it with oil from time to time, as patina can start to form on the blade and it can begin to corrode.

A few closing words
The knife is, with sufficient care, an excellent helper, whether for some fine work or for work of a tougher nature. In terms of design, the knife is very interestingly finished in color and, at least to me, comes across as quite elegant. The grip of the knife is very pleasant and gentle, but at the same time it holds perfectly in the hand and does not slip. Not even when your hands are wet or greasy.
