Finding the perfect holster for the world-famous Mercator knife is definitely no easy task! For this reason, Sebastian from hartaufhart decided to develop one himself and put various prototypes through their paces over a period of 2 years. The result is this handmade holster made from vegetable-tanned cowhide of European origin. Each holster looks slightly different and may even show scars or small signs of injury from the animal. The leather is sealed on the inside so that moisture does not affect the leather. The outside is also impregnated and polished to be water-repellent. The integrated side stabilisers and the rivets are made of brass. The metal surfaces are polished but untreated so that an individual patina develops over time. The holster can be worn on the left or right, with the opening facing forwards or backwards. The position on the belt is irrelevant. The loop on the back has been designed in such a way that a firm fit is always guaranteed and yet there is enough flexibility to adapt to all body movements. The holster is available in natural, saddle brown and black. Suitable for all belts up to 42 mm and a maximum leather thickness of 5 mm. Belts narrower than 30 mm and less than 3 mm thick should not be used, as wearing comfort is no longer guaranteed. * The product photos are sample images, the colour and texture of the leather may vary.

The latest addition to our Rotwild range is the Merlin hunting nodder. The classic nicker shape combines traditional forms with modern materials. The Sandvik steel 14C28N used provides excellent sharpness and corrosion resistance with high hardness (60-61 HRC). The rounded handle fits optimally in the hand and thus also allows for use when curling. The additional deep finger recess of the Merlin RWF 05 is a perfect hand stop. Both together make it possible to work comfortably and for a long time. The knife is delivered with a handmade cowhide sheath. *The stabilisation process changes the wood significantly: structures and grains become more intense. This makes each knife unique. The product photo is an example.

FINN – sleek slipjoint folding knife with stabilized limewood handle The FINN is a folding knife that blends minimalist design with everyday practicality. Its handle, made from stabilized limewood, shines in a fresh, natural lime-green tone. Thanks to stabilization, the wood is especially resistant to moisture and wear – ideal for regular use. The blade made of 14C28N Sandvik steel is corrosion-resistant, holds its edge well, and can be finely sharpened thanks to its slim 2 mm thickness – perfect for clean, precise cuts. The slipjoint mechanism allows the blade to open and close with spring resistance, but without a locking system – making it legally acceptable in many countries.
