Mercator Knives

 

The utility of knives as a tool was surpassed with the role of weapons in World Wars I and II. This invited the attention of several cutlery brands, among them Mercator Knives. Mercator Knives has carved a niche in the international knife market with the provision of high-grade and functional knives that are widely used for everyday or tactical tasks, in most extreme conditions. Amidst the wide range, the most popular model, Mercator K55K, added great relevance in the name of Mercator Knives. Founded by Heinrich Kauffmann, the production of Mercator Knives was at its peak from 1856 to 1995. However, these knives are currently manufactured by Otter-Messer. Mercator Knives can be identified by their black paint and feature an engraved outline of a cat leaping.

 

Historical Significance of the Mercator Knives

Mercator Knives are functional, robust, and simple designer knives that have managed to successfully offer numerous benefits for more than 100 years. Many of these knives were not designed to be used by the army, but the functionality and usage made these accepted by Emperor William's army as well. These are the traditional German pocket knives boasting slim handles with classic blade shapes that have not been changed for long and prove to be extremely functional in most tactical tasks. The most popular knife, once acclaimed as the "weapon of choice among the older teenagers of the South Bronx”, Mercator K55K is often confused with a French Douk-Douk knife. Over time, knife critics pointed out dissimilarities in the blade geometry for both, except for the folded-metal handle. This Lockback emerged out as the most preferred pocketknife by German troops during World War 2.
