Otter Mercator Buckels Folding Knife - Mercator meets Buckels: Two traditions come together for a picnic!. The Mercator knife with a Buckels folding blade is a practical addition to any knife enthusiast's toolkit.

The blade is made of high-quality stainless steel, ensuring durability and excellent cutting performance. The robust folding mechanism ensures safe handling and allows the knife to be stored compactly and transported safely. Thanks to the back lock, the blade can be securely locked when not in use, minimizing the risk of injury. The elegant and compact design, typical of Mercator, makes this knife a versatile companion for home or travel. The durable metal housing ensures a long lifespan. The hand-engraved and painted otter adds a special charm to the Mercator Buckels.

A Buckels (or Buckelsmesser) is a traditional type of German table and lunch knife, very popular for picnics, breakfasts, and afternoon snacks outdoors (Vesper or Brotzeit). Its main characteristics are: Rounded and wide tip: Its blade doesn't end in a sharp point, but rather in a curved and rounded shape (similar to a spatula), making it perfect for spreading butter, jam, pâté, or creamy cheeses directly onto bread without tearing it.

Very thin and sharp edge: Unlike a conventional table knife, the Buckels blade is usually very thin and razor-sharp (traditionally with the Solingen progressive grind). This allows it to precisely slice crusty bread, hard cured meats, tomatoes, or cheese without crushing them.
