- The cooperation of the tank unit of the Army of the Czech Republic, the creator of combat knives Roman Hippik and the engineers of the Mikov company resulted in the creation of the wonderful Taurus combat knife.

This product is intended for use only by adults with knowledge and experience in handling sharp cutting tools. Improper use of the knife can result in serious injuries. The blade is extremely sharp and can easily cut through skin and tissue; therefore, extra caution should always be exercised while cutting, and hands should be kept away from the cutting edge. To prevent the knife from slipping, it is recommended to cut on a stable, non-slip surface and avoid excessive force, which may cause uncontrolled blade movement.
Leaving the knife on the edge of a table, countertop, or in easily accessible places—especially where children are present—poses a significant safety risk. The knife should always be properly secured after use, ideally by placing it on a stable surface or storing it in designated knife blocks, protective sheaths, or magnetic strips. The knife should never be used for tasks it is not designed for, such as opening cans or prying objects, as this can damage the tool and lead to dangerous accidents.
A dull blade increases the risk of injury, as it requires more force and is more likely to slip from the material being cut. Therefore, it is essential to sharpen the knife regularly to maintain optimal sharpness. Additionally, proper cleaning and drying of the knife are necessary to prevent corrosion and bacterial growth. Periodic inspection of the handle and blade is recommended to check for cracks, chips, or looseness. If any damage is detected, the knife should be repaired or replaced immediately.
When using the knife, focus solely on the task at hand—avoid talking on the phone, watching television, or other distractions while cutting. Ensure proper lighting in the workspace for better visibility and control. Please note that some countries or regions have laws restricting the ownership and carrying of knives. Before purchasing or using this knife, verify that its use is legal in your location according to applicable regulations.
Following these safety guidelines will help ensure safe and effective knife use, minimizing the risk of accidents and extending the lifespan of the tool.
Taurus is a well-made, heavy duty combat knife made in full tang construction. Classic bowie clip point blade is made of well-known and proven Bohler N690 steel. Despite the strength assuring thickness of the blade, high flat grind provides excellent cutting properties. To emphasize the combat pedigree of the knife, the cutting edge has also been brought out on the upper part of the blade. On the back of the blade there is a jimping, a small notch for the thumb which gives better control over the knife while working. The whole blade was covered with black DLC coating (Diamond Like Carbon).
Hexagonal handle was made of two thick black G10 liners. They have been screwed directly to the tang. The hexagonal shape of the handle, besides being extremely comfortable in any grip, is also meant to symbolize the pin that connects the different parts of the tank track. The handle is finished with a massive steel head.
The sheath is made of black kydex, on its edges there are holes, thanks to which you can lanyard the knife with paracord or install different kinds of carrying systems.
There are two versions of the knife, T1 version is for civilian market and available for everyone, T0 version is only for soldiers of armored units of the Army of the Czech Republic. Each knife has an individual serial number.
