Was looking at their website, have always wanted their nautical knife, seems they have some other really cool carbon work knives low priced

Anybody got any comments on these knives ?
 
They are great knives. Very well put together and easily carried. This one was gifted to me by Andi. The blade of this knife is carbon steel; however, the bolsters, liners, and spring are stainless steel.

There have been several writeups on the Otter Messer knives here in Traditional - one just a couple of weeks ago. Use the search function to find them.

Do you mean Otter-Messer? They make the Mercator K55, a nice low cost knife that's been around for a decades. I like the K55 a lot. I haven't tried their other knives but it's probably the same steel. There's a video tour of their manufacturing on the web.

Hmmm. Now I "need" one of those. :)

Great knives rather ubiquity here in Europe. I have several. Quality is high and price is affordable.

I don't really like Katzmesser. It cuts like a laser but fit and finish is too primitive for me. I have some of them, so I had a chance to form a judgement.

But all the other product lines are perfect.

Owner of this firm is real traditional knife enthusiast and friend of our local russian speaking forum.
 
I agree with zharik, not that keen on the Katzmesser for the same reasons.

Otter Messer come in bone and woods some are stainless too I believe. Andi has shown some nice examples and they're a very traditional unpretentious Old School German knife. Workhorses.
 
I like the K55 it's seems primitive much in the way of the Douk-Douks, my douk is one of may favorite carry pocket knives since don't mine beating it up due to durability and low cost, looks like K55 just a step up from the Douk, the nautical knife has my eye the most, recently grabbed an antique case whaler her on the forum, very similair

Tapatalk has a mind of its own on spell corrections

And I am sloppy on a iPhone kinda like when emails or posts annotate it was sent from an iPhone as if it's some automatic excuse for typos and bad grammar :)
