REPETITOR Knife
This is a numbered limited edition commemorating the participation of Czech soldiers in Balkan missions UNPROFOR, UNCRO, IFOR, and SFOR since 1992. It bears, upon the proposal of Chief of the General Staff Aleš Opata, the name of checkpoint T 23 - Repetitor, where during the fulfillment of UNPROFOR mission tasks in August 1995, two Czech soldiers died:
- Luděk Zeman
- Petr Valeš
Its design concept is a reminiscence of the famous bayonet for the vz. 58 assault rifle. As with the previous knife project Storm, the designer Major Roman Hippík was inspired by a cold weapon that has been part of our army’s arsenal for several decades and is connected with its history. In this case, it is the bayonet for the vz. 58 assault rifle, familiar to almost all who served in the army, whether as conscripts or professional soldiers.
War Veteran Project
This is a joint initiative by Mikov and the Military Solidarity Fund. Its goal is to connect the memory of soldiers' heroism with concrete help for those in need. From each REPETITOR knife sold, CZK 300 will be donated to the Military Solidarity Fund.
