Knife carving
Carving is a noble hobby. Carvers use specialised carving tools, which we produce in our Narex Bystřice plant. However, a closing knife from Mikov can also be used for carving. Most often we start carving with a knife, for example on holiday, on a trip or when camping.
Knives as symbols
Knives are, of course, primarily tools or weapons. But in addition, in ancient cultures they have also served as symbols of rank and adornment, representing power, prestige or social status. You can still find such knives and cold weapons in the Mikov range today.
How was this year's IWA? Predator, tactical knives and Cube dominated
Mike's stand at the 50th anniversary IWA show in Nuremberg was traditionally in hall number 5. And since the overall evaluation of the exhibition will certainly be the subject of articles in specialized magazines, we will look back at it from the perspective of the exhibitor.
Handle: stabilized bone
The traditional and durable material for knife handles is stabilized bone. Not only does it look nice, but it also has excellent properties. Knives with handles made of stabilized bone are therefore among the quality products with a high level of craftsmanship. Mikov uses them on Predator knives with damascus steel and RWL steel blades.

Mikov will not be absent at the 50th IWA exhibition in Nuremberg
Every year, the international trade fair IWA OutdoorClassics takes place at the Nuremberg Exhibition Centre. The exhibition was founded in 1973 under the name "IWA Internationale Waffen-Ausstellung" (International Weapons Exhibition). The founder was Dr. Gerhard Wirnsberger, at that time head of the German Hunting and Shooting Association (Deutscher Jagdschutz-Verband e.V.).
Children and knives - do they go together?
Every child sooner or later encounters a sharp knife. Most often it is at home, in the kitchen, but it can also be on a trip in the countryside or perhaps somewhere visiting friends in the garden. The best protection against being seriously injured by a knife is to teach him respect and technique in how to handle a knife.
What about knives in nature?
Knives are an indispensable tool in nature, and not only for outdoor enthusiasts. Their uses are varied and include everything from survival activities to small tasks during family outings. And because repetition is the mother of wisdom, Mikov believes that even experienced backpackers can't be hurt by a few brief examples of how to use knives in the outdoors.
Antler tassels
The quality and aesthetics of a knife is not only determined by its blade, but also by its handle. One of the traditional materials for handles is antler. Although the processing of antler into sheaths is not easy and requires craftsmanship and care, knives with such handles are still popular for their aesthetics. Mikov therefore uses antler in a number of its products.
