MERCATOR brass damascus
Brass and damascus – this knife will not only make collectors' hearts beat faster. We have reissued the Mercator in its historical form. Instead of the classic black steel case, the handle is now made of brass. The Damascus steel blade makes the pocket knife a real eye-catcher. The elegant look is completed by the embossed OTTER. Despite its elegant appearance, this Mercator knife also has the usual qualities: it is slim, functional and reliable. The Mercator knife with brass and damascus has the same size as the classic, large Mercator and can also be locked. The leather strap with brass eyelet is included. We use Damascus blades forged from low-alloy cold work steels (1.2842/1.5634, 75Ni8). The hardness is around 61 Rockwell. Please note that the damascus we use is not stainless.
To match, we recommend our leather cases in the colors:
