The limited edition UTON knife, released in a run of 100 pieces to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the founding of the independent Czechoslovak Republic, is sold out! Among other things, it serves as an expression of gratitude to all those who, in the service of their country, risked—and often gave—their lives for the freedom of the rest of us

The handle is made of colored hardened rubber, featuring an inlay of the Czech lion emblem. A leather sheath is also included. Everything is packaged in a special case, with a tricolor flag affixed to its molded insert. An integral part of each knife is a certificate of authenticity bearing the serial number.
The knife weighs 0.293 kg, is 250 mm long, has a blade length of 140 mm, and a blade width of 24 mm.
The armed forces—the army and the gendarmerie—played a key role in the establishment of the independent Czechoslovak Republic, which in its early days faced a number of challenges along its borders with Poland, Germany, and Hungary. While the army was responsible for the country’s defense, the gendarmerie’s main task was to maintain public order, security, and compliance with applicable laws and regulations throughout the territory of Czechoslovakia. The limited edition UTON military knife is intended to commemorate this tradition.
