MERCATOR K55K "Cat"

The MERCATOR K55K "Cat" is more than just a pocket knife - it is a piece of living history. After the Second World War, American GI's brought this robust knife back to the USA, where it achieved cult status under the name "Black Cat Knife". To this day, it is regarded there as a symbol of German craftsmanship and reliability.

The model designation K55K stands for the origins of the knife:

for Kaufmann, the original manufacturer

for Hochstraße 55, the company address at the time

for the cat, the iconic symbol of this model

The black steel handle features an embossed cat, which is hand-painted after powder coating - a detail that makes every knife unique. The slim shape and sharp carbon steel blade make the K55K a reliable companion in everyday life, outdoor use or at work.

Manufactured with the highest precision in Solingen - for all those who value history, quality and character.
