Army knife Mikov Uton N690 Stonewash - without sheath
Code: 362-BG/STONEWASHRelated products
Product detailed description
In the Mikov military knives offer there is an improved version of the UTON, which impresses not only in appearance but also in functionality. The Böhler N690 stainless steel blade is one of the best in its class - it is characterised by high wear and corrosion resistance, making it the ideal material for demanding field use. The hardness of 57-59 HRc allows the blade to retain its edge even under intensive use, while the wedge cut ensures efficient penetration through the material without unnecessary resistance.
The 140mm blade length provides a balanced compromise between maneuverability and efficiency, with only the UTON AZ model offering a larger size within the range. The STONEWASH matt finish, created by controlled metal plating, not only reduces glare but also partially masks minor scratches that can occur when working in field conditions.
The handle made of hardened rubber significantly increases ergonomics and safety of the grip. Its structure reacts well to moisture and does not slip even in a wet palm. A hole in the back allows attachment of accessories - for example, a saw, file or spike, which can be purchased separately. The second hole serves to stretch the paracord with a fixing pin, which extends the possibilities of fixing and carrying the knife.
The total weight is 164 grams, making the model a practical tool without unnecessary weight. This light weight is suitable for both field use and for hanging on gear without negatively affecting carrying comfort.
A variety of accessories can be purchased with the knife, including several types of sheaths that are not included in the basic package. The selection ranges from simple textile variants to leather or plastic versions compatible with the MOLLE system. The elegant wooden DDK2 gift box is also available separately. This model combines UTON's proven design with modern materials and precision craftsmanship, appealing not only to soldiers but also to collectors and outdoor enthusiasts.

The tradition of knife-making associated with the Mikov brand has its roots in Mikulášovice in northern Bohemia, which was known as Nixdorf in the 18th century. It was here that a systematic approach to the production of knives and cutlery began to take shape, based on manual dexterity, local materials, and gradual technical improvement. The town's location in the very north of Bohemia contributed to strong links with German knife-making regions, from which technology, ideas, and business contacts flowed.
The region was long inhabited by itinerant knife makers who worked in small workshops and produced blades hardened in simple furnaces, often directly in their homes. Their skills caught the attention of merchant Ignaz Rösler, who managed to concentrate the scattered craft into the first organized factory production. This laid the foundation for industrial steel processing in the region, where emphasis was placed on repeatable quality, precise grinding, and functional blade shaping.
The originally relatively small operation grew rapidly thanks to high demand for cutlery and knives, which were renowned for their reliability and durability. The expansion of production led to the specialization of individual work steps, with separate departments for hardening, grinding, and assembly, which increased productivity and the technical level of the final products. The success of the first factory motivated other residents of the region to establish related workshops, grinding shops, and forging operations, transforming Mikulášovice into a continuous center of knife production.
Over time, a unique ecosystem of crafts emerged, where experience was passed down from generation to generation and the technical details of production were constantly refined. Typical Mikulášovice production was based on high-quality carbon steel, careful heat treatment, and an emphasis on ergonomics. It was this combination of tradition, technical discipline, and industrial thinking that led to the town being nicknamed the Czech Solingen. This legacy continues to shape the perception of the Mikov brand as a symbol of Czech knife-making, where historical experience blends with modern production and practical use.
