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. In addition, we recommend our leather sheaths in the colors: Leather Sheath 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 Telephone: +49 212 337829

A fries fork with an integrated bottle opener serves as a reminder that a true Kumpel not only works hard but also celebrates the good moments.

A small fine pocket knife, not only for hunters. Lovers of knives with buckhorn shells will love our smallest model. With the blade made of carbon steel it is a great utility knife. It stays sharp for a long time and is easy to re-sharpen. The surfaces of the blades are tiled and show a nice, even grinding pattern. Our deer horn shells are assembled by hand and fit perfectly to the nickel silver bolsters. The precision and care that the reider invests in his work gives this knife a "soul" that is missing in many technically manufactured models today. 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
