Knife PREDATOR is automatic knife of the company Mikov, which is located in the heart of Bohemian Switzerland in the town of Mikulášovice. One of the many advantages of PREDATOR is that the knife can be opened quickly with one hand.
The knife blade is made of high quality damask steel PMC27, which is the most valuable material used for the production of blades. There are no two pieces with the same structure in the world. For Damascus stainless steel PMC27, the toughness of PMC27 steel (matt pattern) is combined with the hardness of RWL34 steel (glossy surface). Thanks to the internal structure, the resulting material has high torsional, bending and impact toughness and at the same time high wear resistance.
The knife made of damask has a high cutting ability, is extremely resistant to breakage and has a beautiful, unforgettable design.
The hardness of the blade is 57-60 HRc. Each blade is numbered so that the individual knives are clearly identified. This identification serves not only as a guarantee of originality, but also as a security element in case of loss or theft. The knife has a decorated ridge spring and the upper part of the blade.
The handle of the knife is made of real camel bone, thanks to which it gets an exotic touch, and thanks to coloring, the knife becomes a unique and original product. Its shape not only guarantees a pleasant and firm grip, but also prevents the hand from slipping and injuries.
The knife has a luxurious and elegant design. Upon the customer's request, it is possible to produce a PREDATOR in a left-handed version, and it is also possible to engrave a logo or lettering on the blade.
This PREDATOR is manufactured in a one-tool design only and comes with a luxurious leather case with a belt loop.

Mikov, s.r.o. is a world renowned traditional producer of office equipment, industrial staples of brand RON and wide portfolio of knives Mikov. Our products are being distributed not only around the Czechia and Slovakia, but also worldwide.

The company is fully Czech-owned and it is proud of its historical roots of honest craft. RON and Mikov brand awareness in Czechia and Slovakia, our network of sales representatives and long-term partnerships with our dealers are of the same value as our long production tradition and knowledge of the craft. Our RON office supplies are bought by all the wholesalers in both of the countries and we can say without exaggeration that they can be found in every Czech or Slovak office.

This success, however, was not reached from day to day. The company connects to the hundred year’s production tradition of small industrial goods and knives in Czech Switzerland, particular in towns Mikulasovice and Lipova. The first manufacture, a predecessor of the current factories, was founded in Mikulasovice by an entrepreneur Ignaz Rösler in 1794. He produced knives, pipe heads, files, sickles, scythes and tobacco pouches.

Economic and business success of Ignaz Rösler led in increase of number of similarly oriented manufactures around the Czech Switzerland area in the 19th century. Due to its fame in the whole of the Austria-Hungary state, this area becomes known as “Czech Solingen”. As part of industrial expansion a new factory was founded in Lipova by Johann Hille in 1863, producing thin aluminium foils “alobal” and rolled wire. From the humble beginnings it quickly becomes the biggest factory of such sort in the whole of the north of Czechia.

The production successfully continued even in the independent Czechoslovakia, after the disintegration of the monarchy in 1918. The factory in Lipova focused on producing staples and small metal products, whereas Rösler’s factory focused on knife production. The production continued even after the 2nd World War, despite of the displacement of all local German population.

After 1948, during the communism era, Mikulasovice were perceived as centre of small industry production. Two companies emerged from the local factories: Koh-i-noor producing office equipment, and Sandrik producing knives. The Lipova factory joined the national company Koh-i-noor Mikulášovice.

In 1955 reorganization took place and all of the local factories were grouped under one national company “Mikulásovicky Kovoprumysl”, which was soon abbreviated to Mikov. The Lipova factory remained its part until 1991, when it was separated and privatized. Its way separated from Mikov for some time under several different owners.

In 2003 the factory in Lipova was bought by Conmetron, s.r.o. Business success of the company with office equipment RON led to acquisition of company Mikov in 2017. A new company Mikov, s.r.o. was established and become the biggest Czech producer of office equipment and knives.

Office equipment distributed under the RON brand include products such as classic and heavy office staples, hole punchers, staplers and staple removers, quick binders, magnetic boards, cash and key boxes, letter clips, scissors, pen sharpeners, snap-off knives and wall shelves. The company is also a top producer of staples, brads and pins for use in upholstery, joinery, carpentry and carton industry to be used by both mechanical and pneumatic guns.

Based on its tradition and name, company Mikov is proud on its long-time partnership with its customers and suppliers.
