The father of Mikov's now legendary Predator knife is Mr. Vladimir Trojan, who started with the company almost sixty years ago as a toolmaker and worked his way up to the position of chief corporate developer, where he still works today as a consultant.
Mr. Trojan was inspired for this knife by the prototypes of ejector knives he discovered in the old pattern room from the factory's original German owners. Using his imagination, skilled Czech hands and the experience gained from the original prototypes of pre-war throwing knives, he created a truly timeless knife for its time, which with its precision, great functionality and original design impressed even the creators of the 2006 Bond film Casino Royale, where he played this Czech knife alongside Agent 007, and thus gained truly worldwide notoriety.
Why choose a throwing knife?
- it's elegant
- it's comfortable and safe to use
- it can be opened with just one hand
- you can choose it in a classic or exclusive design, and there's also a lifesaver version available. There are many more reasons to buy it, but as almost everyone who has bought it agrees - it is a knife that is simply exceptional.

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.
