MERCATOR brass €74.00*
The Mercator and OTTER knife, these two expressions are tightly connected. Now there is also a knife that displays this connection. We have reissued the Mercator in its historical form. Instead of the classical black steel casing, the handle is now made of brass. The elegant look of the metal is completed by the embossed OTTER design. This Mercator knife possesses all the properties you have come to value, despite its elegant appearance. It is small, functional, and reliable. This model is the larger, lockable brass knife. The blade is available in a stainless or carbon steel option. The Mercator brass has been honoured with both the Design Plus and the FORM# Award 2015. Please note: Since brass is a very soft material, small tool marks from the knife manufacturing are hard to avoid. These are not defects, but rather witness to the individuality of the knife. To match, we recommend our leather cases in the colors: Leather Case 03 Dark Brown Black as well as the knife holster in the color: Dark Brown Manufacturer information: OTTER-Messer GmbH Schwertstraße 35, 42651 Solingen, Germany Web: https://www.otter-messer.de/ E-Mail: info@otter-messer.de Phone: +49 212 337829
