But there is an extra sentimental aspect to them for many people that makes them a little more special than your basic knife. (See its history below)
HISTORY: The Mercator knife, originating in Solingen, has remained virtually unchanged for well over 100 years. Initially crafted by the "Mercator" Indiawerk Heinrich Kaufmann & Söhne, it gained favor with Kaiser Wilhelm's army despite not being designed for military use, earning it the moniker "Kaiser Wilhelm Messer.
The American GI's brought this Mercator knife to America after World War II. There it became famous under the name "Black Cat Knife" and is still cult there today. The designation K55K means "K" for Kaufmann (the original manufacturer), "55" for Hochstrasse 55 (the original company address) and "K" for the symbol cat. The embossing is stamped under the press and after powder coating it is painted by hand as in the past.
