The Puma SGB Badlands Fixed Hunting Knife Stag is the kind of blade that feels like it belongs in the field and in a collection at the same time. Handmade by skilled craftsmen, it blends practical hunting performance with classic materials that never lose their appeal. This isn’t a knife that tries to follow trends—it leans into tradition, quality, and honest capability, giving you a fixed blade you’ll be proud to carry when the season opens and proud to pass down when the stories start to stack up.
The 4.0" drop point blade is crafted from 1.4116 German cutlery steel and finished in a clean satin sheen that looks refined without being delicate. That steel is a smart choice for real hunting use, offering dependable corrosion resistance and a maintenance-friendly edge that’s easy to keep working sharp. The drop point profile is a proven favorite for hunters because it’s versatile and controllable, with a strong tip and a belly that handles slicing chores smoothly. Whether you’re dressing game, trimming cordage, shaping kindling, or handling camp tasks, this blade’s designed to stay steady and predictable in hand, so you can focus on the work instead of the tool.
Sized for balance and versatility, the Badlands measures 8.5" overall, giving you a comfortable grip and a blade length that’s ready for the job without feeling oversized. At 6.4 oz., it carries with that reassuring weight that makes a fixed blade feel confident and stable, especially when you’re working through tougher material. It’s substantial enough to inspire trust, but it won’t feel like an anchor on your belt.
Where this knife really sets itself apart is the handle. Genuine stag scales give every Badlands a one-of-a-kind look and feel, with natural texture that sits securely in the hand and adds character you simply can’t manufacture. Stag has been trusted on hunting knives for generations for good reason—it’s rugged, handsome, and it feels right outdoors. Brass pins and a brass bolster add strength and warmth to the design, bringing a classic contrast that complements the stag beautifully and gives the knife that traditional, heirloom-ready presence.
This version features full tang construction, which adds durability and a solid, balanced feel that experienced users appreciate. It’s built to take real use with confidence, whether you’re out on a hunt, working around camp, or keeping it close as a dependable fixed blade for your outdoor kit. The full tang also helps the knife feel planted in your grip, with stability you can trust during detailed cutting and more demanding tasks alike.
Carry is handled by a handsome brown leather sheath with a tether, tying the whole package together with a classic look that matches the knife’s heritage vibe. Leather just fits a stag-handled hunting knife, and this sheath does more than look the part—it keeps the blade protected, secure, and ready to ride on your belt when you’re heading out before daylight.
