HIPPEKNIEP small grenadilla
The original Hippekniep (goat knife) pocket knife from OTTER is a simple and robust knife. Rough handling and tough jobs like leverage work caused the blades of the classic predecessor models to loosen. A sturdier solution had to be developed: the rivet holding the blade firmly in position now comes equipped with a large semi-circular rivet in a broad casing. When needed, the rivet can simply be hammered in deeper if the blade begins to loosen after extensive use. This knife is our small Hippekniep.
Please note: We sell our knives with grenadilla scales only within Germany and the EU.
