Description

Otter small Hippekniep ice beech:

The Hippekniep (goat knife) is a simple and robust pocket knife. The knife blade of the Otter Hippekniep is made of non-rustproof carbon steel, blue-peened by hand and finely forged from the base to the knife tip. It used to be used when herding goats to cut the hooves in the event of injuries. Hip means goat and Kniep means collapse. Today, the Otter Hippekniep is often used on the go for pitting or peeling vegetables or fruit and for cutting cheese or sausage.

OTTER:

Around 1840, the Otter knife company was founded in Solingen in a small Kotten, a traditional water-powered grinding shop. At that time, many otters lived on the nearby streams and rivers, these were the model for the name of the brand otter and still decorate the knives as a logo.

The Otter pocket knives and knives are carefully handcrafted and sharpened. In the production process, the established tradition, which has produced many high-quality Solingen knives, is still adhered to today. The range of knife company Otter includes leisure knives, garden knives, household knives and hunting knives. A large part of the blades are made of carbon and therefore have excellent edge retention and robustness.
