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.

OTTER MERCATOR knife copper
€66.00*
The Mercator is a traditional German pocket knife. With this new copper handle we gave it a new and exclusive look. Although the slim handle and classic blade were not changed. The embossed OTTER logo completes the extraordinary appearance of this knife.The Mercator copper is available with either a carbon or a rust proof blade.This knife is the larger, lockable model.
Please note: Since copper is a very soft material, small toolmarks from the manufacturing are hard to avoid. These are not defects, but rather witness to the individuality of the knife.

OTTER MERCATOR knife ruthenium
€104.00*
The Mercator knife with ruthenium coatingThis noble knife captivates with its new coating - the surface of the knife shines dark anthracite.Ruthenium is a precious metal and one of the rarest elements on our planet. About 20 tons of it are produced worldwide, which is 7 tons more than silver. Ruthenium is mainly found in South Africa, the USA and Russia.Ruthenium is mainly used in the electrical industry and for coating jewellery.Actually, the Mercator version is intended for the food industry, but we find this puristic knife also very suitable as a gentleman's knife. Body and blade are made entirely of stainless steel. The OTTER logo, the sea otter, is embossed on the body. Even the army of Kaiser Wilhelm was equipped with Mercator pocket knives. For over 100 years, this simple but extremely robust pocket knife has been produced almost unchanged. Formerly in the famous Solingen blade forge "Mercator"-Indiawerk Heinrich Kaufmann & Söhne.
This Mercator knife is completely stainless.

OTTER MERCATOR knife brass
€60.00*
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.
