The rybička is a classic pocket knife, as conically Czech as
the radiovka. Since the late 1700’s, Mikulášovice
has been the centre of Czech knife manufacturing and it is where famous knife
factory Mikov set up shop in 1794. For many generations of Czechs, the rybička,
or “little fish”, has been the standard pocket tool and over the years gained
popularity across the continents. These beautiful little knives are still made
in Mikulášovice and now available at South Pacific
Berets – an ode to that other Czech icon: Pat, the radiovka wearing character
from the animation ‘Pat & Mat'.
