Heya, it has been a while since I posted, but I acquired a curious little pen knife and thought someone here might have more information on it.
- Stamp only says Czecho-slovakia. Very slim, scales are just flat plastic/celluloid.
- Nail nick on both sides. The little extensions poking out the bottom are for extending the other tools.
- Blade isn't really sharpened at all.
- Oh, almost forgot, the nail cleaner (i think) and this tiny little spoon are included too. I don't know what the little spoon was intended for. Maybe snuff or other uh... nasal consumables.
The big question is, when was this made, pre or post Second World War? This is a delicate little knife, the blade small enough to really be a novelty. That leads me to believe it isn't a cold war era command economy knife, but I could be wrong. Now that I think about it, I think Mikov was making knives for export to the West all through the Communist period anyway, so maybe I really don't have much to go on. Any insight is appreciated.
