Skive is a city in the Limfjord region of the county of Viborg in Denmark. This coastal tourist resort is situated by the mouth of the Skive River. As of 1992, the population was 19,711.


Attractions in the area include the 14th century Spøttrup castle and the Skive Art Museum (Skive Kunstmuseum). Spøttrup castle underwent extensive repairs in the 1940s and opened as a museum and medicinal herb garden. Skive art museum is housed in a building designed by Leopold Teschl, a Danish architect, along with the Skive historical museum. The art museum houses modern Danish art including works from local artists. Another museum in the city is the Fur Museum, which includes exhibits relating to the Island of Fur, particularly fossils.


The Mønsted Limestone Caves in Skive are run by Denmark's nature-preservation group, Skov- og Naturstyrelse. As well as being a tourist attraction, the caves are used as a place to mature cheese, which is later exported to Germany as "cavecheese", and in winter are home to 10,000 bats.

Skive technology for those who are unfamiliar with the term is based on a few principles which make it exceptionally good for heatsinks.
Skiving essentially describes a process where a tool cuts into the surface of a copper bar at a very shallow angle to draw up fins of about 0.45mm in thickness.
As each skived fin is formed, the side that is in direct contact with the blade remains quite shinny while the opposite becomes somewhat rough.
