The Legendary Fishlet Knife
There are objects that hold much more than just their practical value. The “Rybička” pocket knife is one of them. For generations, it has been the very first knife they ever held in their hands—a symbol of adventure, wanderings through nature, and vacations at Grandma’s. This unique fish-shaped knife has been manufactured in Mikulášovice for over a century. Whether you’re looking for a nostalgic keepsake, your child’s first little knife, or an exclusive collector’s item, Rybička knives have something to offer.

This exceptional gem was created not just to be admired in a display case, but as an exclusive investment instrument for the most discerning clientele. Its handles are cast from solid 18-karat gold (fineness 750/1000), which gives the knife not only a breathtaking weight and unmistakable luster, but above all, lasting value. A perfect visual contrast to the gold is provided by the hand-forged blade made of premium Damascus steel (PMC27), whose unique layered pattern ensures that no two pieces in the world are exactly alike. This investment-grade “Rybička” represents the perfect fusion of centuries-old Czech knife-making tradition and the enduring value of precious metals. More information HERE.
Behind the Scenes: Our Tireless Fight for Originality and Against Plagiarists
The fact that the Rybička knife is worth enough to someone to create a counterfeit may seem like a special honor, but in reality, it is parasitizing on the honest work, craftsmanship, and efforts of others. The low-quality counterfeits appearing on the market not only damage the good name of the traditional Mikov brand but, given the Rybička’s status, also discredit Czech industrial design as a whole.
That is why we have declared an uncompromising war on counterfeits and are using all available legal means to combat them. And it’s paying off! While a well-known case from 2014 went all the way to court, where it ended with a final judgment and a hefty fine for the counterfeiting company, in 2021 we achieved another major success. After just three months of intensive negotiations, two more manufacturers of counterfeit copies (one Czech and one foreign) agreed to a settlement. They committed to immediately withdrawing their products from sale and physically destroying them.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Is the Fishlet a good first knife for a small child? Yes, the classic Fishlet is traditionally the most common first knife that children receive here. Its blade isn’t unnecessarily long, the shape of the zinc handle fits well in a small hand, and the blade itself doesn’t have an aggressively sharp tip. Nevertheless, it is a fully functional and sharp knife, not a toy, so children should always use it for the first time under adult supervision.
Can I have a name engraved on the Fishlet blade? Yes! The Fishlet pocket knife is one of the most popular small gifts. We can use a laser to engrave a short dedication, a name, initials, or a date on the smooth part of the stainless steel blade. This way, you can turn an ordinary knife into an unforgettable and completely personal keepsake that will last a lifetime.
