Not an expert by any means on the Puma's, curious though, what makes you think it's a fake? Is there no such thing as a Damascus Puma?

I offered him 1€

(and would be annoyed if he'd accept it !)

Really, it's so blatantly obviously a fake, that it almost makes you think it's legit...the Solingen stamp looked pretty bad, after having looked and missing some tang stamps as well....

There were Damas' Puma, but this one doesn't really look like the real deal..

Wow - that's a gorgeous razor....another to add to the RAD list....are they very rare?

I think I've only seen this one so far. Not really fitting my tastes, but it looks like a little more legit anyway ! ^^

I'm not sure what to think about that one.I remember about 10 years ago Wacker and the new Boker co advertised a damascus (welded pattern steel) razor. I don't think I've ever seen anything like that from Puma. Certainly not from the family owned era.

OTOH, if you ebay search Puma Damascus there are currently 31 listings of knives. During the good years of Puma they never made a damascus knife. So these are the later, lesser quality Pima ..... Puma in name only .......... and if that razor isn't a flat counterfeit I'd say it is from the recent era of name only stuff.

You are correct, when I was searching out some examples, this Wacker Damascus blade showed up:

The blade shape an the Damascus pattern looks a lot like those Damascus razor shaped Pakistan made ones all over eBay.
