The Mercator Folding Knife is built around a simple idea: a slim pocket knife should be strong, useful, and easy to carry. This red version keeps the classic steel handle shape, powder coated for a clean finish, with a 90mm (3.5 inch) medium pointed blade made from C75 carbon steel.

Carbon steel is valued for a keen working edge, but it does need basic care. Wipe it dry after use and keep it lightly protected, especially around moisture, and it will reward you with dependable everyday performance.

The 110mm (4.3 inch) handle gives enough length for controlled handling without making the knife bulky in a pocket or pack. A backlock mechanism holds the blade in position while in use, adding confidence for outdoor jobs, camp tasks, and general utility work.

Slim, traditional, and easy to maintain, it is a good pick for anyone who wants a compact Solingen-made folding knife with a carbon steel blade.
