The Mercator Black Cat K55K has remained in use for well over 100 years because it simply works.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOriginally produced in Solingen, Germany, this folding knife combines a slim steel handle with a 90mm (3.5 inch) carbon steel blade in a design that has earned a reputation for reliability and straightforward practicality. The blade locks open using a backlock mechanism, while the narrow profile keeps the knife easy to carry in a pocket without adding unnecessary bulk.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe famous Black Cat emblem has become part of the knife's identity. Stamped into the handle and painted by hand after coating, it reflects the same traditional manufacturing approach that has helped keep the design largely unchanged for generations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt just 75g (2.6oz), it carries lightly but still feels substantial in hand.
