Mikov Knives

The original source: http://www.mikovknives.com/

The MIKOV Company is one of the oldest knife companies in the Czech Republic (former Czechoslovakia). Established in 1794 by Ignac Rosler it quickly became the leading producer of quality cutlery in its region. In 19th century the company had two factories - Sandrik and Koh-I-Noor. In 1955 those two factories united and MIKOV company was found. Nowadays MIKOV is the biggest knife company in the Czech Republic - a manufacturer of a wide variety of folding knives, fixed blades, kitchen cutlery, scissors and office equipment.

It is possible to say that if there is any traditional knife in our country it must be a Mikov folder.

Materials: Mikov knives are usually made of modified
420HC stainless steel. Some fixed blades are made of 440C steel. Handle material varies from black ABS plastic, wood (mostly palisander ) to real stag or buffalo horn.

I ask in Mikov, directly, and they said, that they produce also knives from Damasteel AB (some swedish product) and price is around 100 usd.
Basic model, with plastic grip, cost here in Czech perhaps 20usd, with wood grip around 30..
 
I checked out that knifezilla.com website, and I was amazed at all the blatent knife rip-offs they had in there. They even called the knives by the same name.

Simona -- that is an interesting website you have.
 
Mikov is probably the most solid classic design (non-C&C fitted) automatic knife still made today. Some of them have so much kick they bounce off the lock when you first open one!
