The Mercator in its historical form. Instead of the classical black steel casing, the handle is now made of brass. The elegant look of the metal is completed by the embossed OTTER (Otter Messer) design.

This Mercator knife possesses all the properties you have come to value, in spite of its elegant appearance. It is small, functional and reliable. Please note: Since brass is a very soft material, small toolmarks from the knife manufacturing are hard to avoid. These are not defects, but rather witness to the individuality of the knife.

Every gardener should have a great knife on hand to help handle the tasks of pruning, cuttings, propagating, harvesting, cutting rope and other garden material, and more. We found that Otter Messer, founded in 1940 with a long history as a manufacturer of expertly crafted knives in Solingen, Germany, is a perfect balance of superior quality and great value for professional horticultural knives.
