Product information "OTTER Classic Damascus"
The Classic Damascus is a pocket knife that combines tradition, craftsmanship and elegant design to perfection. With its high-quality Damascus blade from a German, family-run forge, this knife not only offers unrivalled sharpness, but also a unique grain that makes each piece one of a kind.
The handle made of fine burl birch wood impresses with its natural beauty and ergonomic shape. Thanks to its elegantly curved design, the pocket knife sits perfectly in the hand. The steel bolsters of the knife pay homage to one of the first OTTER knife models and reflect the brand's rich history.
Why the Classic Damascus pocket knife is special:
- Damascus steel blade: Forged in Germany, with a unique pattern and exceptional sharpness
- Handle made from curly birch: Natural, stylish and ergonomically shaped
- Tradition meets design: Steel bolsters with a historical reference, inspired by the first OTTER knives
- Unique limited edition: only 2 pieces worldwide - an exclusive collector's item
We use Damascus blades forged from low-alloy cold work steels (1.2842/1.5634, 75Ni8). The hardness is around 61 Rockwell. Please note that the damascus we use is not stainless.

OTTER Pocket knife 07 sapele
This knife is a true classic. It is characterised by its straight lines and practicality, attributes that have been highly appreciated in agriculture over time. This is also the area its name came from: the emergency butcher. Today, this knife with its classic design takes the collector onto a journey into the past, just as it has established itself as a utility knife in today's everyday life. The handle is made of sapele wood, which belongs to the most popular knife handle wood, because of its great hardness and its appealing colour. The unlocking mechanism for the pocket knife is located at the end of the handle. When pressing the lever, the blade unlocks and can then be folded in. The ends, tang, lever and rivets of the emergency butcher knife are made of brass and give it a harmonious look. The blade is available in a stainless or carbon steel option. Anyone looking for a utility knife would choose carbon steel for its longer durability and edge-holding capacity, as well as its ease of re-sharpening. The non-corrosive/stainless steel is more resistant to moisture and does not leave any residual metal taste. In addition, we recommend our 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 Telephone: +49 212 337829

Belgian whetstones BB 4
Belgian whetstones are used for sharpening the knives. These whetstones consist of a natural stone quarried from the Belgian Ardennes mountains. Their unique consistency makes it possible for us to grind the blades with precision and in a material-friendly way. The lighter layer is used for grinding, the slate layer on the bottom is simply to make the sharpening stone stronger. The Belgian whetstones must be wet before honing. Set the blade onto the stone at a sharp angle and pull it back in circular motions. A natural abrasive paste develops in this process, which sharpens the blade and polishes it finely at the same time. The Belgian whetstone no. 4 is the smaller one of our whetstones.
