Mikov Golak
Code: GOLAKRelated products
Product detailed description
GOLAK, produced by War Veteran, presents an edition of knives paying tribute to the courage of our soldiers who joined the peacekeeping mission in Kosovo, seeking to stabilize the region. Its design is inspired by the vz. 85 assault knife, which was often used by soldiers during their service in the Balkans. The dagger-like blade of the GOLAK knife combines elements of these Balkan daggers with a new concept.
The name GOLAK refers to the dome-shaped hill that represents an important landmark in the area assigned to Czech soldiers.
The War Veteran project is a joint initiative of Mikov and the Military Solidarity Fund of the Czech Army, which aims to combine the memory of the heroism of Czech soldiers with practical support for those in need. Each knife sold represents a contribution of CZK 300 to the Military Solidarity Fund.

Mikulášovice, still called "Nixdorf" in the 18th century, is undoubtedly the place where the cutlery industry in Bohemia began. This small border town lies in the northernmost point of the Czech Republic. There were many itinerant knife cutters in the area who were noticed by the merchant Ignaz Rösler and employed in his first knife factory.
Initially, the factory employed 100 workers, but by 1819 the number had doubled. The economic success of this factory led other inhabitants to set up other knife-making enterprises and auxiliary trades, and soon most of the citizens of Mikulášovice and the surrounding villages were connected with knife-making. Mikulášovice came to be known as the 'Czech Solingen'.
