Circa Pre 1964
This item is in Mint Condition. A scarce knife find. I have seen only two of these in over 30 years of collecting. I find the knife model in the 1966 Puma Catalog from Australia. The second knife I found was from Canada and from the original early 1960s owner. This one is marked with the Abercrombie & Fitch stamp making it especially rare. The model is the 3585 Försternicker knife in a typical wood gift box with special paperwork indicating the Huntsman.
The knife is nearly flawless as well as the sheath with only minimal handling marks on both. . The paperwork is complete with the gold-bond information sheet and the Huntsman’s label on the bottom of the box. The box has some damage to the inside box end. You can see this in the photo.
For whatever reason that I assume was for marketing reasons, the Försternicker ( Forest Ranger Knife) was temporarily renamed to the Huntsman’s Knife.
