PLEASE POST YOUR TRADITIONAL GERMAN FIXED BLADES & POCKET KNIVES,

I was playing with my Otters today, so I took a few pictures.





Left to right (all C75 carbon steel except the beekeepers knife which is basically 420HC stainless steel)
- Weavers knife - copper and carbon fiber bolster and ebony covers
- Large Anchor knife - African Blackwood covers
- Large Anchor knife - Sapele wood covers
- Three rivet knife - African Blackwood covers
- Beekeepers knife - Sea Buckthorn wood covers
- Large Hippekniep - Plumwood covers

The tip on the Weavers knife was a bit proud, just catching the fleshy tip of my finger when closed. I ground down the kick slightly on the Tormek to lower it.

The three-rivet and beekeepers knives are different versions of the same pattern.



They are all generously proportioned, practical knives for larger hands.



Ballistol works well to remove patina from the brass and carbon steel blades and to protect against rust.

The quality is great all round, no gaps no play, good actions and centered blades.

I don't think the brand get enough credit. They are all excellent.

Well, they are indeed lovely, but I encourage you not to play with your otter in public, no matter how generous its proportion.

Dammit B Brock O Lee , I just had to fish it out of my pants and polish my own Otter!
