Also known as the "Kaiser Wilhelm Messer" due to its popularity during his reign, the Mercator K55K "Cat" is a simple folding knife which has been in production for over 140 years. Beyond its functional allure it has a design sensibility fit for our times, including cryptic branding that is a combination of manufacturer name, street address and feline inspiration. The hat-trick of iconic design, history and high-quality production guarantees appreciation across a spectrum of gift recipients! A true classic and available with exclusive lanyard at Core77's Hand-Eye Supply store.
Indeed, it is a "darling of the world of children"; "Parental supervision" advised.
