Knife STORM

Knife STORM

STORM knife

This is a numbered limited edition commemorating Operation Desert Storm in 1991, during which the then Czechoslovak Army took part in its first foreign mission. Its design is therefore based on a combination of the UTON knife, which soldiers carried at the time, and the shapes of Stealth aircraft technology that represented a breakthrough in air warfare at that time.

War Veteran Project

This is a joint activity by Mikov and the Military Solidarity Fund. Its aim is to connect the memory of soldiers' heroism with tangible assistance to those in need.

• From every sold STORM knife, 300 CZK will be donated to the Military Solidarity Fund.

STORM knife construction

• The blade is equipped with double-edged blades.
• The lower blade, 142 mm long with an elevated tip, is identical to that of the UTON knife.
• The upper blade is divided into two parts:
  • the front descending edge, 74 mm long, follows the elevated tip, which strengthens and enhances its stabbing properties,
  • the rear false edge, 54 mm long, serves as a thumb rest and extends towards the guard on the spine of the handle.
• The knife guard consists of an elevated spine with a roughened thumb rest that transitions into the handle's recess, and a lower extended integral guard.
• The lower guard acts as a rest for the index finger and prevents the hand from slipping onto the blade during handling.
• The handle is a barrel type with black G-10 handle scales; its ergonomics accommodate all grips regardless of hand size.
• At the rear of the pommel, a slightly metallic part protrudes to prevent damage to the scales on strikes; the pommel has a 4 mm hole for a safety lanyard.
• The roughening on the handle scales is derived from the UTON knife and is performed by machining.
• The handle scales are fastened with three M4 hex socket screws with a DLC surface finish.
• Each knife bears markings of the maker, manufacturer, serial number, and year of manufacture; marking is done by stamping or laser engraving.

Sheath and accessories

• The textile sheath consists of two parts – a modular sheath body and a detachable hanger.
• The sheath design allows multiple attachment methods to the belt or MOLLE webbing.
• The knife sheath is made from black, flame-retardant 500 denier laminated Cordura.
• The straps are made from abrasion- and tear-resistant polyamide.
• The front of the sheath is engraved with the sleeve insignia of the Czechoslovak Army Pattern 63 used in 1990–1991.
• The package includes the original sheath for the Storm knife, a certificate of the 300 CZK contribution to the Military Solidarity Fund, an informational brochure about Operation Desert Storm and the Storm knife, and a sticker.
