Knife Country, USA

Otter-Messer knives were founded by the Berns brothers, who named their classic knife line after the native otters that live along banks of rivers and streams in northern Germany. Otter-Messer knives have been passed down through the generations, and they are still made traditionally by professional knifemakers. The Hunting knives are compact, and superb pocket knives that aren't just for hunters. The smallest model will appeal to any fans of buckhorn shell knives. These are superb utility knives thanks to the carbon steel blades, providing them with strong edge retention, and high corrosion resistance. OTTER-Messer Hunting knives are easy to re-sharpen and stay sharp for a long period. The blades' surfaces are tiled, with a good, even grinding pattern. The deer horn shells are handcrafted and perfectly aligned with the nickel silver bolsters. The handles in these knives are mostly made with oak woods, giving them exceptional strength. The reider's accuracy and care in his work give these knives a "soul" that is lacking in many modern, mechanically created blades.
