If I am not mistaken it's actually a hunting pocket knife and the third blade you showed is not for hooving but for gutting, the dull tip serves as a protection so you won't stab through the guts and infect the meat with whatever is inside animal's guts. When we were butchering a Bull few years ago the butcher was using regular butcher's knife and he accidentally cut through the guts, all the indigested stuff splashed out on the ground and on the meat itself, so we had to wash it and cook it well before eating.

Both of those look awesome to me. The real stag looks fantastic, but the faux doesn't look too bad either! I'd happily carry either one of these around hunting camp. Oh, and I do believe that curved blade with the blunt tip would be very useful if you were trying to field dress a big game animal. Cheers, buddy!
My only Mikovs are Swiss Knock-offs from before the split (Tang stamps read: Czechoslovakia). I need to expand my horizons. I'd still say that is a clip. I've seen quite a few straight clips. I''d want a definite concave drop to be true drop point. The stag looks pocket-worn. On that faux stag knife, that farrier blade looks more like a gutting blade or a belt cutting blade. Both are really cool knives.
Detector I like them a lot they are super cool buddy!!!!! Very interesting pieces but they look great!!!! Thanks buddy for showing them have a fantastic weekend and I know you’ll be out there sniffin out the good cutlery!!!!
That’s a great knife. I have a similar knife called a Jagdmesser. Made by Anton Wingen Jr/Othello in Solingen. It’s like a much heavier duty SAK. Mikov makes some nice versions of the 111mm Vics today. The Puma 959 is probably the most prominent of this style.
2 great finds there KD...Both are in much better condition than my only Mikov (of which I love by the way) Excellent video my friend - Have a great weekend ✌️
