From knife terminology - choil
The English word choil refers to a cutout on the blade of a knife that is located near the handle. One example of a choil from Mikov's production is the cutout on the Patron knife.
Leg knife - a lighter view of the world
Leg Knife originated in the 1990s as the little sister of Mike's most famous knife, Fishlet. Its technically improved version was relaunched in 2019 at the request of customers. Since then, Leg knife has maintained its popularity. It is popular with hikers and footballers alike. Perhaps because it takes itself lightly.
Water buffalo and knives
The blades of some of Mikov knives are made from the horns of the water buffalo (Bubalus bubalis in Latin). It is a majestic creature native to South Asia. In some Asian cultures it is still a symbol of strength and prosperity. That is why it can often be seen in various rituals and festivals.
Knives for grilling
Barbecuing is a popular summer activity that brings family and friends together over delicious meals prepared over an open fire. For the perfect experience, you need a good group of friends, a hot grill and quality ingredients.However, these need to be prepared for grilling, and of course the right knives are needed for this.
When you say EDC
If Mikov had still used the term EDC for a knife at the end of the last century, this abbreviation probably wouldn't have meant much to anyone. The term EDC (Everyday Carry) has only started to become popular in the last two decades, and only became common in the first decade of the 21st century.
Screwed or riveted?
Closing knives consist of a number of components that are assembled together by screwing or riveting. Mikov makes knives both ways - and each has its fans and detractors - among customers and knifemakers alike. But let's take an objective look at the advantages and disadvantages of each technology. https://mikov.cz/k26-knives-folding-and-fixed-blade-hunting-knives-hunting-folding-knives-hunterhttps://mikov.cz/k469-knives-folding-and-fixed-blade-hunting-knives-hunting-folding-knives-hubert
We had the national championship in the tourist race
On the second Saturday and Sunday of June (8th and 9th) the National Championship in Hiking Race took place in Mikulášovice, which Mikov supported. Although the hiking race sounds like it would be a walk, the opposite is true. In fact, it is a demanding sport that requires endurance, speed, strength and knowledge.
The handle is made of G10 material
When buying knives on our e-shop, customers carefully go through the Parameters tab. In addition to the steel type, weight or blade paratert, there is also information about the material used on the handle. Mikov uses a variety of these, depending on the intended use of the knife. So what exactly are we buying when it says the knife has a G10 handle?
Steak knife
If you are a lover of juicy steaks, you know that the ideal gourmet experience includes not only well-chosen meat, optimal preparation, sauce and side dishes, but also the right knife. Slicing a steak with an ordinary, dull cutlery knife is just not the way to go. Instead of cutting the steak, a flank knife actually crushes it.
