High-quality and durable knives for outdoor, household, hunting and crafts
Handmade, robust and timeless – pocket knives from Solingen
Our pocket knives are high-quality and durable, timeless and as popular today as they were in 1840, when OTTER-Messer was founded in Solingen in a small cottage - a traditional, water-powered sharpening shop. Pocket knives should be robust and easy to handle and must be able to withstand a wide range of tasks and requirements. That's why we at OTTER-Messer still manufacture our pocket knives by hand using traditional methods.
One knife for all occasions
Pocket knives are knives for all occasions in the truest sense of the word. They don't just belong in your luggage for survival trips, camping or other outdoor and leisure activities. Pocket knives are also a practical tool for everyday use at work, when doing DIY and at home. This is because they are quickly to hand and can be safely transported when folded and taken to the next place of use. They can also be stored in the toolbox or kitchen drawer without any risk of injury.
Our brands: OTTER, Mercator, Hubertus and Rotwild
Four proven brands are united under the umbrella of OTTER-Messer:
Pocket knife, folding knife or folding knife? What is the difference?
The folding mechanism ensures that a pocket knife, folding knife or folding knife can be safely transported and even carried close to the body, for example in a trouser pocket. This means you always have a versatile and quickly deployable tool to hand for DIY and handicrafts, gardening, camping, hunting, climbing, hiking, sailing and other outdoor activities. Depending on the pocket knife model, a locking system prevents the blade from folding in unintentionally while working with the folding knife.
