UTON with combat experience from UNPROFOR missions
You don't often see UTONs that have been through combat. And that's a good thing, because nobody likes war. But they still exist, and it's always a treat to see them for yourself. We had that privilege on Saturday when we gratefully accepted an invitation to Leškovice, a village near Havlíčkův Brod, where veterans of UNPROFOR missions gathered at the local municipal office for an exhibition.
Air cord pattern 27
One of the novelties of this year is a faithful copy of the air cord pattern 27. It is one of the products that we are very happy about, because it carries a good portion of craftsmanship and also reminds us of a significant personality of our First Republic army.
Why we claim 1794

What types of kitchen knives we have
When you say kitchen knife, many of us still think of a nondescript knife somewhere on the kitchen counter that does everything when cooking. And that's a shame, because by choosing the right knife, we not only save ourselves unnecessary effort, but also reduce the chances of cutting into your finger instead of your vegetables, bread or meat. So it's a good idea not to skimp on knives and to try out which of these helpers is the most suitable for a particular job. So let's take a look at the options in our basic range of popular kitchen knives, which we've called KLASIK.

Robots and machining centres won't replace people, but they will help
The knives made at the Mikov factory, as well as the chisels produced at our Narex Bystřice plant, are tools that have remained virtually unchanged over the centuries. Of course, new designs and better materials are used for knives, but the principle remains the same - a comfortable handle and a sharp tool.
