OTTER MERCATOR knife brass

The Mercator and OTTER knife, these two expressions are tightly connected. Now there is also a knife that displays this connection.
We have reissued the Mercator in its historical form. Instead of the classical black steel casing, the handle is now made of brass. The elegant look of the metal is completed by the embossed OTTER design. This Mercator knife possesses all the properties you have come to value, in spite of its elegant appearance. It is small, functional and reliable.
This model is the larger, lockable brass knife. The blade is available in a stainless or carbon steel option.
Please note:
Since brass is a very soft material, small toolmarks from the knife manufacturing are hard to avoid. These are not defects, but rather witness to the individuality of the knife.

OTTER Solingen

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.
