In this video I am showing the differences and similarities between these two knives. The influences the Mikov auto has on the Cobra is undeniable. I will let you decide if this is something to be frowned upon or not.
The MIKOV Company is one of the oldest knife companies in the Czech Republic (former Czechoslovakia). Established in 1794 by Ignac Rosler it quickly became the leading producer of quality cutlery in its region. In 19th century the company had two factories - Sandrik and Koh-I-Noor. In 1955 those two factories united and MIKOV company was founded. Nowadays MIKOV is the biggest knife company in the Czech Republic - a manufacturer of a wide variety of folding knives, fixed blades, kitchen cutlery, scissors and office equipment.
It is possible to say that if there is any traditional knife in our country it must be a Mikov folder.
Materials: Mikov auto knives have blades made of 440A stainless steel. Exclusive lines use Damasteel and now also RWL-34. Some fixed blades are made of 440C steel. Scales are made from black or yellow ABS plastic, exotic wood (Cocobolo, Turkish walnut, Snakewood, Amboyna), real stag, buffalo horn and bone. All singlebladed automatic knives are made for left handed users as well.

Love my Mikov's and wouldn't think of dumping anywhere from $495-$600+ on the Microtech Cobra. Price is rediculous and its definitely a copy. To say it isn't is absurd and even Microtech said its fashioned after the Mikov. Mikov's also come in carbon fiber and with clips too. Not bashing Microtech and own several, but Mikov's the original and a beast of a blade. Replacement springs can be bought on several web sites too. The one you showed is their low end model, but is awesome regardless.

Exactly. He is presenting lowest version of mikov made of steel 420. Mikov has also elite version made of Damascus steel costs 500€. I recommend Stonewash version made of elite steel N690 www.mikov.cz/nuz-241-bh-1-stkp-stonewash/

Lol yeah the microtech elitists use mental kung fu to talk up anything microtech when there's plenty of knives out there on par and even better. Microtechs bullshit prices created a subculture of overpaying otf elitists.

I have a combat troodon that I just got a month ago. After lots of open and closing the blade is starting to not close all the way. Is there a place on the knife I can clean or oil to speed up the action? I foo have the tool for the screws but have never taken a otf apart. Thanks

Could you please make a video about the spring in the Mikov??? I have an identical one and understood that the spring can be removed and put back in seconds, but mine is missing the spring :( Want to recreate it to put life back into the knife. Thanks!
@7darkstorm
@7darkstorm 10 лет назад
On the mikov a new spring can be just pushed up into the handle from the bottom. You push it up against the back spacer or spine of the handle, small end of the spring goes in first . You push up all the way into the handle making sure that the larger portion of the spring goes all the way in flush with the bottom of the handle unitl you hear that click and thats it. Make sure the notch on the bottom of the spring is facing away from the spine..hope this helps

@purpledc1
@purpledc1 9 лет назад
I believe you are correct that those spring loaded nubs are designed to slow the blade but its not to prevent wear of the backspacer. The issue with many microtech knives is what I call blow back. It can happen with any leaf fired microtech and I have even seen it happen with halos. Everyone wants a knife to fire super hard and super quick. The problem is if you use too much spring power the blade reaches the end of its travel and bounces back towards the handle in a ricochet effect before the lock even has a chance to engage the blade. Those nubs probably slow the blade enough to where it wont ricochet. I have seen halos fire so hard the the blade bounces back into the handle 1/4" and it hits the end of its travel so hard that if you arent holding the handle tight the charging handle comes loose from its retainers.

Nice knives but I just can't justify the price of them. I think I would take a fixed blade over a folding blade for anything $100 and over. I do like the stability of that cobra, I don't like any kind of wiggle room for a folding knife. Very good review
@7darkstorm
@7darkstorm 10 лет назад
This is a cool comparison, I have a few Mikovs with dark horn handles and for knives made the traditional way peened together they are great knives especially good users and for its time very innovative like being able to change out a spring without taking the knife apart . As far as the Microtech Cobra Im sure its a great knife but unfortunately its a clone of a Mikov. Im going to look at them the same way I look at any company that steals a design and calls it theirs. Its a shame because Microtech has great designs of their own I just dont see the point why go there.

What it might do the 2 ball bearings. Is it might reduce the chance of the blade bouncing forward and not locking in position.

None of my mikov knives ever has had blade play. That's strange! They're one of the best knives on the market as far as I'm concerned. And the steel they use I can shave my face with it it's like a straight razor. Nope. Mikov knives are fantastic. The new once I bought do have pocket clips. But believe it or not, I really like them better without the clip.

Nice vid but what I got from this is that microtech cloned someone else knife. When all you see online in vids is people saying someone is cloning their knives and talking shit about it. I was in Tiawan around 16 to 18 years ago and purchased a lightning from a street vendor. I really want to know if the scarab from microtech has been around that long because all you see is people saying ooooohhhh the lightning is a scarab clone. I dont think it is; I think its the other way around. Now dont get me wrong microtech is making some dam fine knives but I want to see the facts straight.

Mikov's range between $55 to $140. Microtech is $175 to $440. I do not think they step on each other's demographics. Mikov is a work knife. Microtech is pro combat. I would buy the Mikov myself because it is going to get the job done.

My Mikov has a clip. It's my favorite knife, and I have many that are much more expensive. The Microtech is a overpriced copy. Any marketing spin touting the features that go into the premium price of the MIcrotech clone are just that -spin.
