Mikov is the largest Czech knife manufacturer, offering a complete range of knives. Among the knives in Mikov’s lineup are several models that can rightly be called iconic. These include the Rybička, the UTON military knife, the Pocket folding knife with its emphasis on minimalist design, the elegant Kostka, and, of course, the Predator switchblade.
We’ve previously published an interesting story about the origins of the Predator, based on an account by Mr. Vladimír Trojan. But what lies behind the phenomenal global success of this knife, which is also known abroad from the movies *Largo Winch* and the *James Bond* film *Casino Royale*? Why is this particular automatic knife one of Mikov’s best-known and most sought-after products?
We reached out to a wide range of Mikov customers and asked them why they love the Predator. This resulted in a list of five features that its owners highlight the most:
- Original design
- Ease of opening thanks to a unique automatic system
- Easy blade replacement
- Safety when carrying the knife in the closed position
- Durability and reliability
You can purchasethe Predator from Mikov in Damascus steel, RWL, N690 steel, or standard 420 stainless steel. You can choose a plastic handle, a Raffir handle, or a handle made from premium natural materials. In any case, you can be sure that these five most important features will be unconditionally preserved.
