Did you miss the knife exhibition in Příbram? Come to our e-shop
16. září 2024
We spent the weekend of 14th and 15th September in Pribram at the Knives 2024 exhibition. This year the event was affected by rains and floods. The outdoor program was cancelled and for obvious reasons, fewer visitors arrived than the organizers of the 33rd edition expected. But those who did come to the exhibition encountered exactly what they expected.
Traditionally, everything was well organized. All the rooms of the House of Culture in Příbram were filled with exhibitors, among whom the majority were craftsmen, mainly focused on the production of knives from precious materials. But there were also ordinary knife sellers or distributors of semi-finished knives. And of course the most important are the visitors. Most of them were middle-aged and upper-middle-aged men in casual and outdoor clothing, for whom knife shows are an opportunity to meet each other and share opinions on current knife-making trends.
At the House of Culture, Mikov had his usual spot just beyond the entrance stairs, so the colleagues in charge of the booth were virtually non-stop all weekend. This year's novelty, which everyone at the show was also able to pick up and try out, was the Golak knife from Project War Veteran.
The Golak is an integral military dagger whose design is inspired by the shape of Balkan daggers. This is no coincidence, as it gets its name from the domed hill in Kosovo that dominates the sector assigned to Czech soldiers during the KFOR mission. When you buy the dagger, as with other Project War Veteran Repetitor and Storm knives, you not only get the original numbered knife with a certificate, but also thanks to you Mikov will contribute 300 CZK to the Military Solidarity Fund.
At the exhibition, however, Mikov did not only exhibit military knives, but a complete knife assortment - closing knives led by the classic Fish, kitchen knives, electrician's knives, outdoor and hunting knives or the current knives for rescue workers - Rescue.
If you were planning to buy one of our knives this year and didn't get to Pribram, don't get in, use our e-shop.
