The Puma SGB Deadwood Canyon is the kind of fixed blade that feels like it belongs in the field, on the trail, and in the hand of someone who appreciates real craftsmanship. Built with classic outdoors character and modern, dependable materials, this knife delivers a refined look without losing its working-dog attitude. It’s full tang for strength you can trust, and it’s handmade by skilled craftsmen, giving it the fit, finish, and attention to detail that turns a practical tool into a piece you’ll be proud to carry.
Sized just right for everyday outdoor use, the Deadwood Canyon features a 3.8" blade with an 8" overall length, keeping it compact enough for comfortable belt carry while still offering plenty of cutting edge for real tasks. At 4.6 oz., it carries light and agile, making it a great companion for camp chores, hikes, and general utility work where you want control as much as capability. It’s the kind of knife that won’t feel like overkill when you’re doing small tasks, but it’ll still step up when the job gets more demanding.
The blade is crafted from 1.4116 German cutlery steel, a stainless steel known for being practical, corrosion resistant, and easy to maintain. It’s a smart choice for an outdoors-focused fixed blade because it’s ready for damp mornings, changing weather, and the kind of daily use that can punish fussier steels. Whether you’re trimming cordage, carving kindling, prepping snacks at camp, or handling general campsite cleanup, this blade steel keeps performance reliable and upkeep straightforward, so you can spend more time enjoying the day and less time worrying about your gear.
The handle is where the Deadwood Canyon really shows its personality. With staghorn scales, it brings a natural, rugged elegance that’s hard to duplicate. No two staghorn handles are exactly alike, so each knife carries its own distinctive texture and character. That organic feel isn’t just about looks—it gives you a naturally tactile grip that sits confidently in the hand. A brass bolster adds a warm, traditional contrast and a touch of classic polish, while the brass finger guard brings extra security when you’re working, helping keep your hand in place when the cutting gets more energetic. Brass pins round out the build with a cohesive, heritage-inspired look that feels authentic from every angle.
Carry is equally dialed in with a handsome brown leather sheath with a belt loop. It matches the knife’s traditional styling perfectly while keeping it secure and accessible on your belt. Leather carry feels natural, rides comfortably, and looks better the more you use it, making the whole setup feel like a true outdoors companion rather than just another piece of gear.
The Puma SGB Deadwood Canyon is a great choice for anyone who wants a compact fixed blade with handcrafted appeal, full tang confidence, and classic materials that look as good as they perform. It’s ready for camp, trail, and everyday outdoor work, with a style that’s timeless and a build that’s meant to be used.
