OTTER Knappe bog oak fatcabon

The Knappe stands for that quiet strength that needs no loud words. Its handle, crafted from stabilized bog oak, carries the depth of centuries-old nature within it—dark, warm, and shaped by the passage of time. 

Through Solingen craftsmanship, it becomes a knife that unites history with precision. The stainless 1.4034 steel blade performs reliably and cleanly, ready for the everyday tasks of a loyal companion. Pure, honest, and made for people who value durability. 

The Knappe is the knife that doesn’t draw attention—yet endures.

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.
