Mikov Taurus T1 N690 Knife - Black

Robust and solidly crafted combat knife featuring a full-tang design, produced by the renowned Czech manufacturer Mikov. Roman Hippik specifically designed this knife for the armored forces of the Army of the Czech Republic. Two variants are offered: the T1, which is intended for civilian use, and the T0, available exclusively to armored military units. Each knife bears a unique serial number engraved onto it.

The blade, shaped in a bowie style, is forged from Bohler N690 stainless steel and hardened to a level of 57-60 HRC. Featuring a 4.5 mm thick profile, the blade is coated with a black DLC (Diamond Like Carbon) layer that enhances both corrosion resistance and eliminates glare. The guard-shaped lower section of the handle, combined with a thumb-notched upper surface, effectively prevents the hand from slipping onto the blade.

The handle is constructed from two robust G10 laminate scales, which are securely fastened directly to the tang with screws. Its hexagonal grip pays homage to the pin used in assembling the links of a tank’s track. Engineered for ergonomic comfort, the handle delivers an exceptionally firm and secure hold during use.

A rugged sheath crafted from Kydex is provided, delivering reliable attachment options for belts or gear.
