The Puma SGB Alleycat is a sharp-looking, hard-working folder that brings Solingen steel heritage into a modern, street-ready design. Built with purpose and finished with attitude, it’s the kind of knife that feels comfortable in daily rotation and confident when the work gets real. From the first flip open, you can tell it’s made to be used—clean ergonomics, dependable materials, and a blade profile that’s ready for everything from quick utility cuts to more demanding chores.
At the core of the Alleycat is 1.4116 German cutlery steel, manufactured in Solingen, Germany, a name that’s long been tied to quality blade-making. That steel is a practical, user-friendly choice that’s easy to maintain and well suited to a knife that’ll see frequent use. The 3.3" drop point blade is hollow ground for efficient slicing performance, giving you a keen edge geometry that bites into material without feeling thick or clumsy. With a blade thickness of 0.11", it balances strength and control nicely, so you can tackle tasks like breaking down boxes, trimming cordage, cutting zip ties, or cleaning up small shop and camp jobs with steady confidence.
The blade’s black matte finish adds a tough, low-reflection look that matches the Alleycat’s no-nonsense personality. It also helps the knife keep its clean appearance through everyday wear, making it a great option for folks who like gear that doesn’t show every little scuff. And when you need extra bite, the partially serrated edge gives you a helpful advantage on fibrous materials like rope, webbing, and tougher packaging, while still leaving plenty of plain edge for controlled push cuts and clean slicing.
This is a full-size folder that carries easily. With an overall length of 7.9" and a closed length of 4.5", it’s big enough to give you a secure, comfortable grip without feeling oversized in the pocket. At 4.2 oz., it hits that sweet spot where it feels substantial and stable in hand, but not heavy or awkward to carry day after day.
The handle scales are black aluminum, offering a solid, durable feel with a sleek profile that matches the blade finish. Aluminum brings a nice balance of strength and weight savings, and it gives the Alleycat a crisp, modern look that plays well in both work and casual settings. A pocket clip keeps carry simple and consistent, letting you keep it in place and ready when you need it.
Lockup is handled by a liner lock, a proven, practical mechanism that’s built for quick one-handed operation and dependable everyday performance. It’s straightforward, reliable, and easy to use, which fits the Alleycat’s overall mission perfectly: a working folder that doesn’t overcomplicate things.
