Rybicka MIKOV pocket knife gold color

Product detailed description
The Rybička pocket knife is an example of technical minimalism and the long tradition of Czech knife making. The fish shape is based on the original design from the early 20th century, but the manufacturing technology and materials used have undergone significant development. The handles are made from zinc alloy castings that undergo a zinc chromate surface treatment. This process creates a subtly variable color effect, giving each piece a unique appearance. The zinc alloy ensures greater resistance to mechanical wear while providing sufficient strength and keeping the knife lightweight.
The blade, approximately 55 mm long, is made of 420 stainless steel with a hardness of 52-55 HRc. This makes it easy to sharpen while maintaining a stable edge during normal use. The steel blade is set in a pivot that allows for smooth opening and closing without the need for an additional lock, which corresponds to the simple and functional design. The total length of the knife when open is approximately 100 mm, and when closed it measures around 70 mm.
The Rybička has retained not only its nostalgic value but also its practical function – its compact dimensions allow it to be carried comfortably in a pocket, and the chosen combination of materials ensures a long service life. Production takes place in Mikulášovice under the Mikov s.r.o. brand, and the knife is one of their four certified products labeled as a Regional Product. Technical simplicity combined with more than a century of tradition makes the Rybička an object that combines the heritage of Czech craftsmanship with modernity.

Mikulášovice, still called "Nixdorf" in the 18th century, is undoubtedly the place where the cutlery industry in Bohemia began. This small border town lies in the northernmost point of the Czech Republic. There were many itinerant knife cutters in the area who were noticed by the merchant Ignaz Rösler and employed in his first knife factory.
Initially, the factory employed 100 workers, but by 1819 the number had doubled. The economic success of this factory led other inhabitants to set up other knife-making enterprises and auxiliary trades, and soon most of the citizens of Mikulášovice and the surrounding villages were connected with knife-making. Mikulášovice came to be known as the 'Czech Solingen'.
