www.Bladeauction.com or BladeBid.

A: Just locate the nearest branch of
Wells Fargo Bank

your knife faster since it is deposited immediately – personal check must clear first.

Q: What is Modified dagger grind?
A: Also known as "damascus" grind - this grind has shorter false edge (compared to the regular dagger grind), fileworked spine. Backspring is fileworked as well.
Q: What is Utility grind?
A: Mikov knives with Utility grind actually have clip point blades. The blades were manufactured outside Mikov based on my own design. I thought they would be more useful than the regular dagger blades. They are not available from any other dealers. Only 1000 blades with utility grind was made.
Q: Why don't you ship autos with regular dagger grind to Australia or New Zealand?
A: Dagger blades are illegal there and even though the false edge is not sharpened, customs often seize the knives because of the "dagger" grind. Knives with utility grind are OK.
Q: Can I order Mikov autos with serrated or semi-serrated blades?
A: No, I sell only regular Mikov production and serrated (semi-serrated) blades are not made by Mikov factory. Only the recue knives have serrated blades.

A: Yes, please check my older
web site for more info. More questions? Please
e-mail me. Don´t forget to write MIKOV in Subject line.
