The otters who lived in the streams and brooks next the little factory inspired the both the logo and the name. Today Otter-Messer knives are fitted with C75 carbon steel blades, but the knives are still manufactured and stropped by hand. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis brass-anchored sailor's knife is a good example of the quality of Otter-Messer knives. Boasting a curved blade for control, a weatherproof hardwood handle and the iconic anchor inlay, it is functional for a number of applications. Its broad Sheepsfoot blade is descended from nautical knives, since the absence of a straight pointed blade makes stabbing incidents less likely - useful for the turbulent nature of the sea and the turbulent demeanor of shanghai'd or indentured sailors... as well as for those of us landlocked and accident prone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"specs_and_care\" style=\"display: none;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications \u0026amp; Care\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"sizing-spec\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eC75 Carbon Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBeautiful African dark wood handle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStriking brass rivets and anchor inlay\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlunt tipped sheepsfoot blade - ideal for safety and cheese spreading\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandmade in Solingen, Germany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Otter-Messer","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":382720684,"sku":"Otter-Messer Anchor Sailor's Knife Dark Wood Special","price":44.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0050\/4252\/products\/HES_MGH_3_13-038.jpg?v=1426788522","url":"https:\/\/www.handeyesupply.life\/products\/otter-messer-anchor-sailors-knife","provider":"Hand-Eye Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
