Product information "Mercator "patinated""

Patinated Mercator knife 

Unique craftsmanship from Solingen 

Experience the legendary Mercator knife from OTTER in an exclusive patinated version! Each knife is unique, handcrafted in over 50 precise steps. Start your journey with a masterpiece from the traditional blade city of 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.
