Otter-Messer is a German manufacturer that has been producing high-quality handmade knives exclusively in Germany since 1840. They stand for "Made in Germany" quality. In recent years, the demand for high-quality knives and other craft products has once again increased considerably. In the manufacture of their knives special attention is paid to quality. The blades are traditionally made of carbon steel, but are also available in high quality stainless steel and are particularly durable.
The assortment of its catalog ranges from pocket knives to hunting knives and custom-made products. Although the production of Otter knives would also be possible outside of Germany due to current globalization, but they make the conscious decision to remain in Solingen and manufacture in a traditional way. Here in Germany's knife city is where many years of experience and knowledge are passed down from generation to generation.
Their traditional company has been based in Solingen since 1840 and they rely on manual labor on their traditional skills and know-how. Each knife is carefully crafted by hand and impresses with its high-quality materials and solid workmanship. Otter knives are particularly durable and will last a lifetime even with frequent use.
Otter Messer currently manufactures the famous Mercator knives, a historical model made in Germany.
