MERCATOR Red – The Classic with Character and Leather Sheath For more than 100 years, the MERCATOR pocket knife by OTTER-Messer has stood for simplicity, durability and honest functionality. This special version adds a bold touch of color to the iconic design with its red powder-coated metal handle – eye-catching, timeless and unmistakably classic. The sturdy metal handle is tough and built for everyday use. At the end of the handle, a small section of the coating has been sanded off, revealing the bare metal beneath. This gives each knife a unique, slightly vintage character. Please note: this exposed area is more prone to rust and should be kept dry and occasionally maintained. The stainless steel blade offers reliable edge retention and excellent corrosion resistance, making it easy to care for and perfect for daily tasks. The knife comes as a set with a soft genuine leather sheath made from brown coarse leather, providing both protection and a traditional look that perfectly matches the MERCATOR’s heritage.

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
