“Glazing” is a special process of fine grinding the blade. At different stages, the blade surface is “fine-glazed” and then “blue-glazed”.Since time immemorial, these processes have formed part of the most time-consuming of the traditional Solingen grinding techniques, “blue-glazing” being the finest pro- cessing of the blade surface.

American GIs brought this Mercator knife back to America with them after World War II. There it became famous under the name "Black Cat Knife" and still has a cult following. The embossing is stamped in under a press and painted by hand after powder coating the handle. Its name K55K originated from "K" for Kaufmann (the original manufacturer), "55" for Hochstraße 55 (the original company address) and "K" for the cat (Katze) symbol. The blade is available in a choice of stainless and carbon steel.

Functionality and simple beauty - those are the attributes distinguishing this classic OTTER model. The anchor knife is a true eye catcher. The brass anchor inlaid into the wooden handle gives this pocket knife a special flair. Together with the handle sides made of fine grenadil, it creates a remarkable contrast. The blade is a hoof blade, which is particularly well suited for drawing cuts.

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.

This knife is a true classic. It is characterized by its straight lines and practicality, attributes that have been highly appreciated in agriculture over time. This is also the area its name came from: the emergency butcher. The handle is made of grenadile wood. The unlocking mechanism for the pocket knife is located at the end of the handle. When pressing the lever, the blade unlocks and can then be folded in. The ends, tang, lever and rivets of the emergency butcher knife are made of brass and give it a harmonious look. The blade is available in a stainless or carbon steel option. Anyone looking for a utility knife would choose carbon steel for its longer durability and edge-holding capacity, as well as its ease of re-sharpening. The non-corrosive / stainless steel is more resistant to moisture and does not leave any residual metal taste.
