I used my new-to-me nameless Czech on the church pot-roast today.
Could it be one of the discontinued Mikov slipjoints?I used my new-to-me nameless Czech on the church pot-roast today.
Could be for all I know. Mikov is the only Czech cutler I know. The tang has Czechoslovakia on one side and a double-headed eagle on the other.Could it be one of the discontinued Mikov slipjoints?
None of my three have the double eagle; just "MIKOV" in a round corner rectangle.Could be for all I know. Mikov is the only Czech cutler I know. The tang has Czechoslovakia on one side and a double-headed eagle on the other.
Will Power says that "Czechoslovakia" puts it between WWI and the split-up of Czechs and Slovaks (199+?). The two-headed eagle has a crown above and is clutching an orb with a cross on it, which is something to do with the "Ecumenical Patriarchate of Mount Athos," which is something to do with the Greek Orthodox Church.None of my three have the double eagle; just "MIKOV" in a round corner rectangle.
All of mine are recent production (post 2010), so no double eagles may amount to less than a gnat's butt burp.
Could the eagles = "Cold War" or earlier production?
