Mikov Stovka Blue 100-NH-7 A Pocket Knife

In my example of the Mikov Stovka, the scales were mounted unevenly, which was quite noticeable. Fortunately, the shop has a returns system, so problems like this are not troublesome. However, I suspect that with Mikov it all depends on the specific model. The blades opened quite smoothly, and the factory sharpening was sufficient to start with.

The penknife is somewhere between the Victorinox Camper and the Spartan in terms of the number of tools (for example, it has a saw like the Camper, but lacks the small flat screwdriver at the end of the can opener and the tweezers). In my example, the bottle opener was almost impossible to pull out – in the closed position, it was so deeply recessed that I had to modify the design myself and put a cork pad underneath it. Now it works great. Still, the opener slips off the cap. Really, Czechs – you're famous for clear lagers, and the opener failed? The whole penknife was excessively lubricated with oil, to the point of dripping. No expense was spared on the hinges. The saw doesn’t lock in place, making it less safe than Swiss equivalents. The main blade and the scalpel are very well sharpened at the factory. A drawback is the absence of a lanyard hole or ring. For this price, it’s better to look for something with the Swiss cross logo. If it cost as much as the Polish Gerlach Assist 12 (also a competitor of the Spartan and good value), it would be fine. Currently I have the Mikov, Gerlach Assist 12, and Victorinox Camper, so I can compare them directly.
