Otter Mercator Knife
This knife design hasn’t changed in 150 years.
A simple, trustworthy blade for everyday use.
This simple, lock-back knife ($53) is hand-made in Germany and is based on a traditional 150-year-old design. The handle is made from a single sheet of brass, and it surrounds a stainless steel blade that's hand-sharpened in a small workshop in the Westphalia region.
