Mercator Black Cat Pocket Knife Solingen

The Mercator K55K is a type of pocketknife produced in Germany since around 1867. Mercator knives were primarily produced by Hy. Kauffmann, which was operational from 1856 to 1995.1 The Mercator K55K knife is still produced in Germany by Mercator, now a division of Otter-Messer.

The designation "K55K" with the inversed second K is a code for the original producer's main office in Solingen and the knife model designation. The correct code deciphering according to the website of the current manufacturer would be: "K" for "Kaufmann" (the name of the original producer), "55" for "Hochstraße 55" (the address of the original company residence in Solingen, Germany), and the inversed second "K" (for "Katze" which translates to "cat" - the knife's main emblem)
