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.
Walter A Matthews is a survival techniques specialist who also served as an officer for more than 20 years in the Chilean Marine Corps. In 2005 he founded in Chile the first Survival and Primitive Skills school. As a SERE Instructor, he has also trained Special Forces operators on survival techniques. His tactical experience, self-reliance, primitive skills, and bushcraft techniques in different locations throughout the world, give him the ability to design various types of knives and outdoor tools.
