Condor CTK802-3.26HC Pangui Fixed Blade Neck Knife 3.27" 1095 Carbon Steel, Walnut Wood Handles, Welted Leather Sheath
The name of the Pangui Knife is inspired by the claw of a cougar. The "Mapuche" people, also called "Araucanos," inhabitants of Chile, in their original "Mapudungún" language, referred to the cougar or "mountain lion" as the "Pangui." Designed by Walter A Matthews to be carried around the neck, it features a natural finish 1095 high carbon steel blade, walnut wood scales, and a handcrafted welted leather sheath with ball chain.
