Tobruk
In 2020, presentation daggers named Tobruk were created for soldiers of the 25th Anti-Aircraft Missile Regiment, Strakonice. The unit's brief was for the dagger to evoke the shape of a rocket missile — Strakonice is home to an anti-aircraft missile regiment.
The first series comprised 10 pieces, intended primarily for departing senior regiment officials during changes of command. The daggers have a flat double bevel with a facet, tang construction with a thread. One side of the ricasso bears the unit emblem, the other the soldier's service number. On the underside of the guard is the maker's mark and the knife's serial number. Leather sheath with belt loop and option to attach to a tactical vest. The daggers were made by knifemaker Jindřich Kutil.
