I have looked at that Mikov site that Mr Tanto has and I love the black ABS handled auto knife because it comes with all the bits my Swiss knife had but with a big ole auto blade in there as well all in one package.
So Mr Tanto I want one please,I see they arent on sale yet so when can I get one as its just what I have been looking for.Also how much will I have to pay ($70 is that right) and can I have one shipped to the UK,dont worry about customs as it is legal to buy them from abroad.
I dont know if thats your company or not but I just guessed that it is,anyway I hope you can help me.

I am not exactly sure which model you have in mind. The 241 NH 3 (blade, 2 openers) is available now (with ABS handles). You should find its price in my price list. If you do not find particular knife in a price list it is not available. Please e-mail me if you need more info: info@mikovknives.com
BTW I have other varieties on order - all different combinations in wood and stag (241 ND2, 241 ND3, 241 NP3, 241 NP 4 etc...). The funny thing is - they (Mikov) will not make them if you do not order them - so I ordered all possible handle/blade combinations.
Sorry Dave I should of explained ,I want a 241 NH 4 with the main blade,bottle opener/screwdriver,can opener and saw.
According to your site this model is not available yet so any idea when it will be and any idea on the price?
Do you also ship to the UK,might sound like a silly question but theres point in me wanting one if you dont ship them here.

So you wanna play rough huh??
Say hello to my little friend!!
I got two of the kits and am having them combined into a "Swiss/Czech army Mikov. Will be a while probably be a while,
but I'll try to share a pic when it's done if I can figure out how.
The plan is to have all the attachments you mention. Figure it should be a meaty knife!

OK, I got it . This one is not available now and as I said, if I do not order it they will not make it . I have just ordered the knives in wood and stag and will wait to see what they can do. So far I have only heard of the other combinations, but I have not seen the finished products (only the 241 ND3 and then the stag prototype that I have). But I have not seen any with the saw at all. I also have no idea how much it will be.
As for shipping to UK... I have not shipped to your country before. I do not know if the packages get checked by customs.... I can ship it but the risk is yours. BTW I will be in UK (London area) in two weeks (if you want some other Mikovs).
OK, I have just talked to the production manager at Mikov and... the 241 NH 4 (blade, openers and saw) will not be produced - at least not in near future. So they will produce only 241 ND2, 241 NP2 (blade and saw), 241 ND3, 241 NP3 (blade and openers), 241 ND4 and 241 NP4 (blade, openers and cork screw) D=wood, P=stag. In ABS they will have 241 NH2 (blade and saw) and 241NH3 (blade and openers). This one is already available, the 241 NH2 should be available soon and will be just slightly more expensive than the 241NH3. Then of course there are the 241 NH,D,P 1 (blade) available anytime.
I know this was already mentioned on the old forum, my question is can a pocket clip be added to the Mikov's. I have a few of the abs handle and would like to add a clip to one of them. Wouldn't try it with the stag.
Ah man... tanto they won't make one with a blade the openers and the saw? Well when they do make it I hope the standrards are the same, but I know you won't accpect crap mikov knives. Either way thanks for the info, and razor your right too a pocket clip would be nice on em'. I wouldn't try it on a stag one too. The ABS and Wood are easy to modify, but stag is hard as hell (well I haven't customized many handles or anything).
I've heard that two possible future changes involve the bolsters and the lever. It seems to me both of those modifications are mainly cosmetic. Has anyone heard of any other changes being considered?
Hey tat2kid....your Mikov is coming along nice...should be done in a few days...and the belt clip will work out great!..and hollowdweller...can't wait to do that swiss army Mikov...I have to have one now!.........Nemo
The production manager said the reason they do not produce the knife with saw, blade and openers is that they would have to build a knife with 3 layers (?). That would be quite thick and difficult to put together. But he did not say "we will never do it" so there is still some chance. Since the kits (I should be saying knife parts) are available you can always ask somebody to combine two of them and build the knife for you.
I have not heard of any other changes to the design of the autos (besides those already mentioned here).
I just wanted to say that these Mikov knives are really excellent. I got one a while back from Tanto - and by the way He's a good guy to deal with- and they are a real heavy duty blade with cool style to it. If you dont have one already you can't go wrong adding one or more to the collection.
