The Mercator knives created by the Otter Messer brand originated in Germany in 1867. Mercator is the translation of the creator's name in Latin: Kaufmann ("merchant" in French). These pocket knives were usedby soldiers in the German army during the First and Second World Wars. The Mercator folding knife was then exported to the USA, where it became very popular in New York, and more specifically in the Bronx district. And yes, it's worth pointing out that this knife was made famous above all by gangsters!
Today, Mercator pocket knives are prized by folding-knife enthusiasts, handmade knife collectors and fans of traditional knives such as Douk-Douk and Higonokami.To make an Otter Mercator knife, 40 manual steps are required! Quality is preferred to quantity, which is why the brand only produces in small quantities. Handcrafting has undeniable advantages: each piece is meticulously controlled at every stage, and the knife has a real soul! German quality means perfect finishes and a flawless cutting edge.
The blade of this Mercator 10826.R folding knife is made of 4034 stainless steel. The quality of the cutting edge makes it a pleasure to cut food, wood or any other surface ready to pass under the blade! What's more, the blade is easy to sharpen with a whetstone or sharpening gun. Stainless steel is resistant to moisture and acidic foods, so it's easy to maintain.
The 11cm handle is made of polished stainless steel. The Mercator is the very first knife with a folded steel handle (long before the Douk-Douk and Higonokami). The thin, lightweight handle is engraved with the Otter brand logo. The handle is fitted with a lanyard attachment for a more secure grip. The pump lock visible on the handle locks the blade when unfolded to prevent it from accidentally folding back during use.
This all-stainless steel Otter Mercator knife is legendary: whether you're a collector or an adventurer, it's sure to please!
