History of the STYX Knife
Dates back to 2002, when Major Roman Hippík designed the first knife with a modified tanto blade tip for a member of the 601st Special Forces Group.
In 2005, a downsized version called MP was created from the original design for the military police units of the Army of the Czech Republic.
Both variants were produced by Ľubomír Maďarič until 2019. At the initiative of soldiers from the pontoon unit of the active reserves of the 152nd Engineer Battalion, another modification of the STYX knife was developed in 2023.
Due to its great popularity, the knife becomes part of another unit of the Army of the Czech Republic.
Since 2020, all variants of the STYX knife have been manufactured by Mikov s.r.o.
