Description The Otter Marcator knife is a timeless classic that has been manufactured in Solingen for over 150 years and was registered as a utility model of the German Empire (D.R.G.M.) before the turn of the century. The knife became famous far beyond the country’s borders during the First World War, when it was issued to soldiers in the German army under Kaiser Wilhelm II. During the Second World War, the Mercator knife became one of the most popular souvenirs of American soldiers.
