Mercator black carbon steel folding knife

Contemporary with the French Pradel, it is distinguished by its innovative side with a folded steel handle which makes it both extra-flat and very resistant. With these qualities he equipped German soldiers during the two world conflicts. Subsequently exported to the United States, it is to the gangsters of the Bronx, in the K55K version, that it owes its legend and its nickname “Black cat knife” because of the black cat engraved on the handle. Focusing on quality more than quantity, Otter takes particular care in the finishing of its knives. It requires no less than 40 manual steps to create a Mercator.
