New Lee Valley Rybička Pocket Knife

In production for more than 90 years, this Rybička (“little fish”) knife is as iconic in the Czech/Slovak market as slöjd knives are in Sweden.

There is just something “right” about the weight and feel of it – dense but not heavy, and slim for its size, at about 3″ long overall. Meant to be carried regularly, the 2″ stainless-steel blade will not protect you from animal attacks but will let you harvest wild mushrooms and asparagus as you wander about.

Everyone who has held it wants one – even if they don’t know why.

Made in the Czech Republic. Highly recommended.
