OTTER "Bergmann"
An Ode to the Heritage of the Bergisches Land and Beyond
The OTTER "Bergmann" combines in its design the artisanal traditions and innovations of the regions around Solingen and is the perfect everyday companion
The Bergmann is inspired by one of the very first knives from the house of OTTER, the Webermesser. The carbon blade with its very fine tip points to the original application area in the textile and ribbon weaving industries of the Bergisches Land. The compact and rounded handle made of ebony with its black color is a reference point to the coal of the Ruhr area. The copper structures in the bolsters made of Fat Carbon resemble formations in coal seams. These memories of the diverse roots of the region, from which OTTER knives originate, come together in this, completely handcrafted knife from Germany's city of blades, Solingen.
In the election for "Knife of the Year 2025" by MESSER MAGAZIN in the folding knife category, the Bergmann took 1st place.
At the IWA Knife Award 2024, the Bergmann was awarded 2nd place in the "Classics" category.
