Simple, sturdy and functional - these are the qualities that have characterized the Mercator knife for over 100 years. Whether in the large or small version, the simple elegance is simply not to be scoffed at!
The stainless steel handle has a matte finish engraved with our OTTER logo.
The blade is made of stainless 1.4034 steel. The small stainless steel Mercator is not lockable.
Such an OTTER life. Just look how comfortably he lolls on the matted handle.
Because the company with the name of a fish marten has bought up the products of the manufacturer MERCATOR. Whose founder in the 19th century elegantly translated his last name "merchant" into Latin with the name MERCATOR.
But how does one come to call a brand OTTER? In any case, in the 19th century, also the time when this knife company was founded, those cute little animals lived by rivers and streams in the Bergisches Land. The OTTER company was a grinding shop operated by water. In those days, people lay on their stomachs, bent over a huge grindstone. And because this was not only exhausting, but also very cold, since the stream flowed under the craftsman, dogs were brought along as heating pads. These then lay in the knee bend as a warming counterweight.
