Comments: If you are looking for a Masterpiece to be the center of your collection this Joe Kious-Ron Skaggs, this one-of-a-kind folding dagger could be the knife for you. According to Joe this is the largest knife of it's type he has ever made - and he is not eager to make another!
Joe calls this model his "Pocket-Locket" and one look makes it clear why. One side of the knife reveals a concealed chamber, perfect for additional engraving. In this case the "Art Deco " motifs are continued with a stylized female image from the 30s.
The rest of the knife is also masterfully engraved by Ron Skaggs, and includes a series of classic Art Deco themes and motifs. Ron's wonderful carving and skillful use of, silver, copper, rose and yellow gold help complete this top-of-the-line Joe Kious folding dagger. And as usual the entire back-strap is elegantly filed. This is certainly one of Ron's finest - absolutely a masterpiece!
