SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Puma SGB Big Bear Brown Jigged Bone is a fixed blade with classic confidence and a timeless look that feels right at home in the field, at camp, or displayed with pride in a collection. Handmade by skilled craftsmen, it brings together traditional materials and dependable performance in a knife that’s designed to be admired, carried, and used. Everything about it says “heritage,” but it’s built with the kind of practical features that make it more than just a showpiece.
At the center of the Big Bear is a 5.5" clip point blade crafted from 1.4116 German cutlery steel and finished in a clean satin sheen. This steel is a smart choice for outdoor use, offering corrosion resistance and maintenance-friendly performance that suits a working fixed blade. The clip point profile adds a touch of classic Bowie attitude while staying highly functional. You get a strong cutting edge for slicing and utility work, along with a finer, more precise tip that’s great for detail tasks where control matters. Whether you’re trimming rope, shaping kindling, handling camp prep, or tackling general outdoor chores, the Big Bear’s blade profile gives you versatility with a traditional edge.
With a total length of 10.0", this knife delivers the reach and leverage you want when the task gets bigger, while still feeling balanced and comfortable in hand. It’s substantial enough to inspire confidence, and at 8.2 oz., it has that reassuring heft that fixed-blade fans appreciate. It feels steady, planted, and ready for work—never flimsy, never uncertain. It’s the kind of knife you can grip and immediately understand, because the proportions and weight just make sense.
The handle is where this version really shines. Brown jigged bone scales bring a rugged, old-school character that looks even better the more you handle it. The jigging adds texture for a secure grip and gives the knife that unmistakable traditional vibe, like something you’d expect to see on a well-loved classic from decades past. Brass pins and a brass bolster add warmth and refinement, creating a striking contrast against the bone and giving the knife a rich, finished look that feels premium without being flashy. It’s a combination that’s equal parts practical and handsome, built to age gracefully and look better with time.
This model features hidden tang construction, keeping the handle profile smooth and comfortable while maintaining a solid, confident feel in use. The result is a knife that sits naturally in the hand and stays comfortable through longer cutting sessions, whether you’re working around camp or tackling chores at the cabin. It’s built to feel secure and controlled, with the kind of traditional fit and finish that makes you want to carry it often.
To complete the package, the Big Bear comes with a handsome molded leather sheath. It’s a natural pairing for a knife with this much classic style, and it keeps the blade protected and ready when you are. The molded construction helps the knife ride securely, while the leather adds that timeless finishing touch that just belongs with jigged bone and brass.
