OTTER MERCATOR knife brass scales damascus blade

 Simple, functional and robust – the Mercator knife has offered these benefits for over 100 years. Even though it wasn't designed to be an Army knife, it quickly gained acceptance in Emperor William's army. This was also the time that created the name "Emperor William Knife". Today, it is used worldwide and distinguishes itself with its narrow, rugged design in everyday life.

OTTER knives GmbH 

The Otter company was founded around 1840 in a small cottage – a traditional water-powered grinding shop – at the Königsmühle in Solingen. Its name comes from the fish otters that used to live on the banks of the streams and rivers in the Bergisches Land. These adorn the products as the company's logo.
