No shop like a shop
It is well known that Mikulášovice, a small town in the north of the country in the region of Bohemian Switzerland, is the headquarters of our company. The Museum of Cutlery Tradition, which is located in the Tourist Information Centre in the very centre of the town, is also very popular. However, it is not so well known that there is also a specialised shop selling our knives in the same building.
I celníci nosili meče
Celníky dnes nejčastěji potkáváme na dálnicích, kde kontrolují projíždějící kamiony nebo o nich čteme v souvislosti se zadržením kontrabandů pašovaného zboží. K mužům a ženám v černých uniformách neodmyslitelně patří pistole za pasem. Představa, že by místo ní nosili po boku malý mečík, nám připadá absurdní.
It's named Handy
It stands somewhat unfairly in the shadow of hunting, kitchen or military knives, yet it is a knife that is almost irreplaceable in its field. And it's appreciated not only by professional waiters and bartenders, but by all of us who need to open any bottle at home, whether in the kitchen or at a summer barbecue. Handy nife is equipped with a corkscrew in the first place. Without it, opening a bottle closed with a cork stopper is practically an unsolvable problem.
Guru inspired by Nepal
It's not exactly a knife, it's not exactly a sword, it's a type of chopping weapon that can be classified in a fairly broad group of so-called machetes. Large chopping weapons, also designed for work, have been developed independently all over the world. Our Guru has its roots in Nepal, where the kukri knife was born among the Gurkha hill people.
Knife sheaths made of kydex
If we want to go out into the countryside and plan to take a sturdy knife with us, we can't do it without a quality sheath. But which sheath to choose? Among knife enthusiasts, there are uncompromising advocates of leather, cloth and special materials sheaths, which include kydex in the first plac
Looking Back at Tango 23
There are things that are difficult to describe, they have to be experienced. And that is exactly what our journey with the veterans of the Tango 23 - Repetitor observation post was like, going directly to the place where their comrades and comrades-in-arms Sergeant Petr Valeš and Staff Sergeant Luděk Zeman died during the Croatian offensive on 5 August 1995.
Cesta na Repetitor
V září roku 2022 jsme se v pražském Komunitním centru pro válečné veterány setkali s příslušníky mise UNPROFOR, kteří byli přímými účastníky ostřelování, kde zahynuli dva čeští vojáci - četař Petr Valeš a rotmistr Luděk Zeman. Při této příležitosti zaznělo spousta nápadů, které postupně začínáme uvádět do života.
Journey to Repetitor
In September 2022, at the Community Centre for War Veterans in Prague, we met with members of UNPROFOR who were direct participants in the shelling that killed two Czech soldiers - Sergeant Petr Valeš and Staff Sergeant Luděk Zeman. On this occasion, a lot of ideas were expressed, which we are gradually starting to put into practice.
Stabbiíng dagger - - knife not only for hunters
From the moment man began to hunt, he had to solve the problem of how and with what to process the hunted game. In the Stone Age, flint knives were used for this purpose, then bronze knives when man discovered bronze, and iron knives with the discovery of harder iron.
