Mercator
The Otter company was founded around 1840 in a small »Kotten« – a traditional water-powered grinding shop – near the Königsmühle at Solingen. It was named after the otters living on the banks there at that time. Even today, the pocket and fixed knives are carefully handcrafted in Solingen. The range includes knives for leisure, kitchen, garden and hunting, sold under the brand names Otter, Mercator and Rotwild.
