K55K ....you know what I mean

Post by JonTerry »

Hi Guys,

Finally got myself a Mercator, and was wondering if apart from the Red Spacer whcih this one has, is there any other way of dating them ?

I would like to think this is quite old due to the other bunch of knives it came with, so I'm suspecting they came from a deceased estate, all of the other knives seem to be mid 20th Century or perhaps earlier.

This one is pretty beaten up outside, but still locks tight, good Walk and talk etc.

Anyway hope you like what you see, to be honest it will not become an EDC but thought I should have one in the collection at least.

Cheers

JT

Thank you for the compliment, John. 🍻
But, I do NOT know anything about MERCATOR "K55ꓘ" pocket knives.
What I DO know, is that I have four of them and they are ALL part of my EDC rotation. ::tu:: ::tu::
