Various eBay sellers (with good feedback ratings) sell them, as does Worldknives. You should be able to get a lockback Mercator in carbon or stainless for <$25 shipped (I know Worldknives has both blade versions; not sure about eBay sellers). I own three myself. :D

EDIT - Sorry, Morablades, I just realized that you asked about the non-lockback - I've never seen a Mercator like that before... Reminds me of a douk douk, kind of...
 
Just got a new CV Case copperlock (looks like some kind of jack knife to me but the box says 'copperlock..')... A few passes on the Sharpmaker and it's scary sharp now... Even a crappy sharpener like myself can get CV scary sharp. :)

Yeah, that's a Copperhead (name of the handle style), which is a type of jackknife, not a Copperlock (which is a single-blade lockback with a very similar handle shape).

This is a picture of a Copperhead Wharncliffe (SS) in blue bone, and a Copperlock Wharncliffe (CV), in yellow Delrin:

Well, today, one finds it in my pocket. :D

But that doesn't really help you. It isn't currently made. The date code on mine is from 2002. I found it, unused, on Ebay last year. The model number code is: 31549W L CV

Don't remember exactly what I paid for it, about 30 dollars or so. Good luck!
 
Today it was an old Uncle Henry stockman..
Something about the old Schrades, they just seem like a slicing machine.
 
Been carrying this Lone Wolfe so often , that I decided to make a little something to keep it from flopping around in the pocket of cargo shorts...

All these pockets were just made for knife folks !

Well, yesterday morning I went to put down my Stockman knife that I have been carrying as of late, and started to reach for one of my Trappers to edc for the week and I stopped rather abruptly.. I thought of a friend's father who just passed away over the weekend.. And for some reason that made me remember my hay day in that particular era back in the mid to late 1980's when I used to work and hang about with this particular pal of mine. At the time I was edc'n a Frank Buster Cutlery MOP 3 blade Congress pattern with good quality carbon steel that stayed razor sharp and took an edge lickity~ split from the 1970's. At that moment I started frantically digging in my MOP drawer and after a few minutes I found her..:) I opened her up and realized I haven't oiled the joints in quite a spell. After oiling that little gal I smiled and dropped her in my pocket and she is now what I have been edc'n since.. Sure brings back a lot of memories from back then.. Good Stuff.:thumbup:

Last night my wife gave me a knife for no good reason. Just because she wanted to I guess. It is a Case pocketworn red bone 6208 half whittler. Pretty slick little knife. I will be carrying it today.:D
 
Today it is a little Tomes single blade in bone that fell out of Thomason's pocket when I hit him in da head.
