Thread: Puma, Reaper?

When I first saw this last month, I thought, "Yeah Right"!! But in searching SRP I find that Bresnick...Dubl Duck, and Puma were kinda, well, inter-mingled for a period. So, was there a real Puma Grim Reaper? It's the same scales as the Vesuvius, a pre Dubl Duck Reaper.

It is a lot nicer than my Puma. Then again mine was only 15$US and after about a year I still can't make it shave ready!(:-(

That's not good!

My only Puma is a nice INOX, but it's a heavier blade, grind, than I like. I much prefer a full or extra hollow.

Of course if this is a real Puma Reaper, I'd prefer to have had it in the collection too!!

Here's the other side. .

With a really good shot of the pins I might be able to tell if they have been changed..

Could have been rescaled. A closeup of the pivot pin would help for that, but there may be no way to know for sure.

Jinx Dylan you owe me a beer

Yeah, the first thing I looked for was the pivot pin. These were the 2 best images to see it. ???

I have never seen Puma 88 with those scales, only the original Puma scales.
I am skeptical those are the original scales, were you able to find other references with pictures?

Somehow I feel the grim reaper, very sharp steel and my throat don't mix... I wouldn't use it!
