Although it was initially known for equipping German soldiers during the First World War, it owes its fame mainly to the Bronx gangsters who nicknamed it the \"Black Cat Knife\" because of the black cat engraved on the handle.

With these qualities, it equipped German soldiers during both world wars. Later exported to the United States, it is to the Bronx gangsters, in the K55K version, that it owes its legend and its nickname \"Black cat knife\" because of the black cat engraved on the handle. Otter is more concerned with quality than quantity, but takes particular care in the finishing of its knives. It requires no less than 40 manual steps to make a Mercator.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Otter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47121326309721,"sku":"couteau-pliant-mercator-noir","price":39.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0727\/1890\/9785\/files\/OTTER_MERCATOR_NOIR.jpg?v=1694601104","url":"https:\/\/www.lablousedelyon.com\/en\/products\/couteau-pliant-mercator-noir","provider":"La Blouse de Lyon","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
