Otter-Messer Mercator Ruthenium Folding Knife, 1.4034 Steel, Ruthenium Handle, 10526RGR

Our Mercator in a new guise - the ruthenium coating gives this classic knife from Solingen a completely new look.
Ruthenium is one of the precious metals and one of the rarest elements on our planet. Annual world production is estimated at around 20 tonnes (compared to 27,000 tonnes of silver). Its main deposits are in Russia, South Africa and the USA. It is associated with platinum, other platinum group metals and nickel. It is mainly used in the electronics industry and, in recent years, increasingly in the coating of jewelry. Above all, its attractively shiny dark anthracite-colored surface is valued here. Added to this is the uniformity of the coating, the color consistency and the high abrasion resistance.
All these properties combined with the simple elegance of the Mercator knife make every knife lover's heart beat faster.
