The classic Mercator knife is certainly one of the oldest multifunctional knife concepts that is still being built more or less unchanged today. The new version now has a handle body made of brass, which gives the knife a completely new look. The blade is also made of classic, non-stainless carbon steel and shows this in use by forming the patina typical of carbon steel.

Glänzt wie Gold
Schönes, flaches und stabiles Messer. Die Klinge hat eine schöne, schlichte Form. Bei Messing denkt man eher an die alte Wohnzimmerstehlampe, aber bei diesem Messer sieht es aus wie Gold. Messing ohne Schnörkel ist eine feine Sache.
Risk of cuts: The most common hazard when using knives is the risk of cuts. Sharp blades can easily penetrate skin and tissue.
Blade slippage: Improper handling or applying excessive force may cause the knife to slip, leading to uncontrolled movements and potential injury.
Injuries from falling knives: Knives should never be left unsecured or placed near the edge of tables or work surfaces, as they may fall and cause injury.
Dull blades: Dull knives pose a higher risk of injury, as they require more force and are more likely to slip. Knives should therefore be sharpened regularly and properly.
Improper use: Using a knife for purposes other than its intended use (e.g. as a prying tool) can damage the blade and may result in accidents.
