The world's bestFirefighters professional companionSuper-Pro Rescue Tool The Mikov R-4 MIKOV is an icon in the world of hardware. It's a Check company, with a reputation of being the Rolex of tools and knives. The MIKOV R-4 is composed of 4 elements all designed to for rescue:- A switchblade that is a wide-shallow-teeth saw, enabling sawing and cutting. It is made of high grade steel, probably CM-154. The firing system is of the LeverLock type, with the lever folding completely flush into the handle; there is no way to fire that thing accidentally.
- The tip of the blade is a gut-hook, designed to cut belts, in this instance.
- A manually extracted glass-cutter.
- A permanent glass breaker at bottom of the handle.
- We couldn't identify the handle material, but it looks like a special flame resistant non-slip material.
- The tool is highly resistant to corrosion and impervious to humidity/water.
- It's carried using a riveted non-removable clip.
The bottom line: It is not a knife. It's the best rescue tool in the world. We carry
it because of our automatic knives customers, who are law enforcement
agents and firefighters with rescuing people being the noble part of
their job. We stand behind them and offer the best at a price that
makes sense. |
Buying a large switchblade automatic knife, things to consider.
- The spring of your large switchblade automatic knife
should be strong enough to rapidly and fully deploy its blade. The
larger the blade the more spring-force is required.
- A large switchblade automatic knife can be a pain to carry. Check out, whether or not it comes with a belt-case or a good strong clip.
- You need a reliable and easy to handle safety lock, unless your large switchblade automatic knife comes with a very good flush button design.
- Steel quality is important because most carriers of large switchblade automatic knife carriers use them, for general-all-purpose field chores, rather than for specific tactical actions. A
large switchblade automatic knife in general and the
wide-drop-point-blade in particular is often used as a skinning hunting
knife.
- An ergonomic handle is a must. Nothing can be more annoying than working with a large switchblade automatic
knife that does not provide a comfortable, sure grip. It can affect
seriously the holding balance; the knife will not feel as being an extension of
your hand but rather as a foreign unwanted object.
The Bottom Line: a large switchblade automatic knife is a real tactical device but it is also, let's not forget a folding knife. Combat situations do not occur every Monday and Friday; maintenance chores: cutting, slicing and so forth, occur all the time. Think Joe-the-laborer rather than Rambo, think practicality rather than scaring or fighting, that's if you want to get a real value for your money.
