Cat Knife

I have been using this knife for almost 10 years.  It has made it's way into my rotation of EDC knives.  I just love the slim profile, fitting into the pocket nicely.  This is not a high-end knife, but for the price, I have absolutely no complaints.

A sharp, slim easy to use and carry knife. It is well made.

Almost like the original from Germany. Not quite the same quality but acceptable.

Good pocket knife but not as good as the old ones

Unlike other reviews mine is not marked 'China', but 'Mercator'. Therefore, I believe these are now the legit knives made in Germany by Otter.

Construction seems solid and the knife came paper sharp.

4/5 because the blade came with a few rust spots on it.

Inexpensive , quality work knife , stays sharp, slim profile fits pocket, if lost, no big deal, just get another.

I have had a knife in my pocket since 14-15 years of age.I am 61 now.I've had this knife for more than a year and it is the most favorite knife I have ever owned.

The cat knife is the very best all around pocket knife I have ever carried-- I have been a knife carrier since I was a young boy and have carried them all - Several years ago I inherited two of the cat knives from my pop but over time have lost them - I immediately replaced the last one- I hope the finders appreciate what they found --Thanks for letting me submit  J Nooney

I have used these knives for years and have always bought them from Atlanta Cutlery. The current knives are as good as the early ones. the carry well, are not bulky or heavy and retain a good cutting edge. I just gave one of the two I ordered to a good friend as a gift.

Great knife! nice and slender. Good feel. And good looking.

I had this knife only two months. it will no longer close all the way due to a poor spring, ripping my pants pocket. it no longer 'walks and talks' as they say. the blade itself requires sharpening quite often and will not hold an edge, two sharpenings are already wearing down the blade. i have an original from the early 60s purchased in my youth, this is nothing like the original. if you want to throw away $14.95 plus postage, go for it.

I actually rate the knife a 4-1/2 STAR Item!  I own both a 50 year old German knife and the newer Chinese assembled version of the Original.  The newer version is best for day to day use because it is tighter and I don't worry about losing it!  This knife is all around Very Good and I recommend it to everyone that carries a pocket-knife!

Initially I was dissapointed to find out this knife was stamped "China"  However it has turned out to be a strong knife that takes and holds a razor edge.  If you are looking for a slim, sharp, strong and inexpensive lockblade knife, this is it.  

I own an original cat knife my Navy father gave me. He won it in a poker game from a GI just after WWII. My father used it as a regular pocket knife for over 40 years. The original is still in the same near perfect condition as the reproduction I just received from ACC.
