Unique craftsmanship from Solingen

Unique patina
The brass handles are patinated using tried-and-tested techniques from the art of sculpting and innovative, specially developed processes by Sebastian von hartaufhart from Düsseldorf. This creates unusual structures that make each knife a unique and unmistakable piece. The patina develops with use, giving the knife a very individual character. Look forward to a knife that lives and ages with you!
Exclusive details
The hartaufhart/OTTER logo and the serial number are initially invisible and only become visible through the natural wear and tear of the patina with use. This gives the knife a special charm and increases its uniqueness.
