Mercator-Knife Smoked Oak

The Otter Marcator knife is a timeless classic that has been manufactured in Solingen for over 150 years and was registered as a utility model of the German Empire (D.R.G.M.) before the turn of the century. The knife became famous far beyond the country's borders during World War I, when it was issued to soldiers in the German army under Kaiser Wilhelm II. During World War II, the Mercator knife became one of the most popular souvenirs of American soldiers. The no-frills pocket knife has always impressed with its simple design and sturdy construction of stainless steel and smoked oak handle scales. The blade made of 4034 steel can be opened comfortably two-handed with the help of the nail nick and is reliably secured by a sturdy backlock. Thanks to the practical catch strap, the knife can be comfortably attached to bags or other objects.

Warning and safety information:
Cut injuries: The most common danger when using knives is the risk of cuts. Sharp blades can quickly penetrate skin and tissue.
Slipping of the knife: Improper or excessive pressure can cause the knife to slip, resulting in uncontrolled movements that can cause injuries.
Injuries due to falls: Knives should never be left unsecured or near table edges to prevent them from falling and injuring someone.
Blunt knives: Blunt knives pose a greater risk of injury as they require more force and can slip more easily. Knives should therefore be properly sharpened regularly.
Improper use: Using a knife for tasks for which it is not intended (e.g. as a lever tool) can not only damage the blade, but also lead to accidents.
