MERCATOR brass small
The Mercator and OTTER knife, these two terms are closely connected. Now there is also a knife which shows this connection. We have reissued the Mercator in its historical form. Instead of the classic black steel case, the handle is now made of brass. The noble appearance of the metal is completed by the embossed OTTER. Despite its elegant appearance, this Mercator knife also has the usual features. It is slim, functional and reliable. This model is the small, non-lockable brass knife.
To match, we recommend our leather cases in the colors:

as well as the knife holster in the color:
