Mercury: 60 years of Italian knife tradition

Reasons to buy a Mercury knife

Mercury knives stand for 60 years of experience, craftsmanship and tradition. Mercury continues to constantly innovate without losing sight of their traditional values. These high-quality knives are known for their reliability and durability. They are functional and stunning thanks to the combination of elegant materials, such as olive wood and micarta, and the sleek Italian design. The knives are ideal for a wide range of activities such as camping, outdoor activities and everyday use.

Mercury knife: the blade

Mercury uses Böhler N690 steel or Elmax for most knives. These steel types are fairly tough and very corrosion resistant. Sharpening is also easy. The multi-tools and outdoor cutlery sets are made from stainless steel.

Mercury knife: the handle

The handles are made from several materials. Think of atmospheric natural materials such as Pau Santos and olive wood. But materials such as G10, aluminium and micarta are also widely used.

OEM and MIKITA

Like the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) Mercury continues to innovate. The brand, for instance, produces cutting components for specialist, industrial tools and produces knives for different brands and designers. Ever since 2018 Mercury has been an indispensable part of MIKITA. A cooperation between the largest knife makers from Maniago, Italy. The four knife makers are LionSteel, Viper, Fox and, you guessed it, Mercury.

About Mercury knives

Mercury is one of the first knife factories established in Maniago after World War II and can fall back on more than 60 years of tradition in knife production. Over the years, Mercury Knives has expanded and refined its range, combining traditional methods with modern technologies. From classic pocket knives to high-quality chef's knives, every Mercury knife is carefully crafted with attention to detail and precision.

More than 30 years ago, Mercury invented the ‘Mico’, or ‘mushroom collecting knife’, to meet the expectations of passionate mycologists. Soon, the ‘Mico’, which became very popular, was imitated by many competitors. In the diving knife branch, Mercury was the first factory in Italy to acquire the technology for producing titanium blades, supplying European and global market leaders with its products.

The brand has a rich history of working with renowned designers and industry experts to create products that meet the highest standards of performance and reliability. Are you an outdoor enthusiast? A Mercury knife is a good investment. With a focus on innovation and passion for craft, Mercury remains an icon of excellence in the world of knives and other tools.
