The brass anchor set into the hardwood handle speaks volumes. The form was developed by working seamen who needed a small, reliable tool for everyday use at sea, and who carried the anchor as a symbol of hope. We've kept the Anchor Knife in our rotation for many years because the proportions are right, the silhouette is quietly elegant, and it's hand-crafted in Solingen, Germany.

The stainless blade is a deliberate choice, and the right one for a knife designed to be near salt water. The shape is sheepsfoot: a straight cutting edge with a blunt, rounded tip, well-suited to draw cuts and the kind of utility work that has to happen in close quarters. Everything else is as it should be — sapele handle, brass rivets, brass anchor inlay, slip joint.

A knife with deep nautical roots, that will serve as well on land as it does at sea.

Otter-Messer has manufactured knives in Solingen since 1840, when the Berns brothers established production in a watermill.

Wipe the blade and handle dry after exposure to water — especially salt water — paying particular attention to the pivot. An occasional light coat of mineral oil or wood wax will keep the sapele from drying out, and a drop of machine oil at the pivot will keep the slip joint moving freely.
