TAURUS — ACR combat knife

TAURUS

The command of the tank battalion of the Czech Army wished to have their own type of knife symbolizing membership in this exceptional branch of service. It was created through collaboration between the battalion command, combat knife designer Roman Hippík, and engineers at Mikov. The knife is offered in two versions — T0 exclusively for members of the tank battalion and T1 for collectors and knife enthusiasts.

The shape near the tip of the knife symbolizes the front of a tank viewed from the side. The hexagonal shape of the handle symbolizes the pin connecting parts of a tank track. The front part of the handle symbolizes the front fender of a tank.
