Thank you Just Tom for the input.Since 1794, apparently, though the link between the current company and the one they claim to be descended from seems a little tenuous:

As far as I know, it dates back to the 70's. As for the history on MIKOV, I can't add anything to the link provided by Just Tom, except maybe that in 2005 Mikov bought manufacturing rights of the German firm Adler Messer.

These two were made for me in 2013 by Howard Hitchmough. They are folding versions of his stalking knife that he made for years. I sourced the stag, some of the best I have ever seen. I hope you like them as much as I do.

Here is a Smith & Wesson 6060 Folding Hunter I recently picked up.
Production was in the second half of the 1970's. Blackie Collins design.
Very nice fit & finish, no gaps, no blade play, nicely ground.

Thank you Sir.
I wish you could see them in real life, the filework, fit and finish and action are all perfect. Two of my very favourite pieces.
