On Thursday, December 8, Mikov launched two new versions of thePredator switchblade knife, which fans had been eagerly awaiting. Compared to existing models, they differ primarily in that Böhler N690 steel has been used for their blades for the first time in history.
Customers canpurchasethesePredator models either with a stonewash finish or in the blackout version, which features all metal parts coated with a durable DLC layer.
“Even though these aren’t entirely new products, they still represent another significant step forward for the company,” said Mikova’s sales director, Petr Balej. "Those interested in these knives can now choose whether they want a Predatormade ofstandard 420 stainless steel, luxury Damascus steel, or high-quality N690 steel."
Other N690 steel products currently offered by Mikov include items from its new Progress line—the ListandPatron fixed-blade knivesandthe luxuryPockett folding knife, designed by the Olgoj Chorchoj design studio.
Mikov’s close collaboration with the Olgoj Chorchoj studio is further evidenced by the fact that Mikov knives are featured in the OCH! exhibition, which is taking place at the Moravian Gallery in Brno from December 8, 2016, through April 16, 2017.
