Otter-Messer Knives
Made in Solingen, Germany

Known as the “Black Cat” by American soldiers after World War II, the Mercator model still enjoys an excellent reputation among knife enthusiasts around the world. The black hilt with the gold cat belongs in the collection of all military knife enthusiasts. In cooperation with Woodlore, a unique Mercator model was created a few years ago with the exclusive grip in green and the jack painted in black. A new chapter in the 140+ year history of the Mercator knife, to which Otter knives could add another highlight. Simple, efficient and indestructible. The original Mercator knife has been a favourite for over 100 years. Although not originally designed as a military knife, it quickly became an integral part of Kaiser Wilhelm’s army, earning it the nickname ‘Kaiser Wilhelm Knife’. Nowadays it is appreciated worldwide for its slim and robust design and its versatility in everyday situations.
