Comments: If you are looking for a Masterpiece to be the center of your collection this Joe Kious-Ron Skaggs. folding dagger could be the knife for you. Joe calls this model his "Pocket-Locket" and one look makes it clear why.

Both sides of the knife reveal a concealed chamber, perfect for additional engraving. In this case the "Roman Gladiators" motif is continued with an imgae of "Thumbs up and Thumbs Down"depicting the Gladiator's fate. The rest of the knife is masterfully engraved by Ron Skaggs and includes the Classic gladiator Variations.

Ron's wonderful carving and skillful use of, silver, copper and gold help complete this top-of-the-line Joe Kious folding dagger. And as usual the entire back-strap is elegantly filed. This is some of Ron's finest work ever!
