"Four seconds of fame" for Czech knife in Bond movie - 12-01-2007 - Radio Prague What do James Bond and the Czech hobby of mushroom picking have in common? I won't keep you guessing - it is a knife - more precisely knives produced by the Czech company Mikov. Their products are good enough for 007 as well as the peaceful Czech family hobby of mushroom picking.

The title is a subtle pun since the 'rybička' refers to a very famous Czech flick knife with a fish-shaped handle whose maker's product was prominently displayed in the latest Bond film. This is what the company's director had to say about it (and with justification):

The 'rybička' knife is a phenomenon, it is an evergreen among our knives. Probably every Czech, and Slovak for that matter, has owned one or more as a child. This knife is something that belongs to the Czech Republic, just like Czech beer.
