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 concealed chambers with additional engraving. In
this case the “Geisha Dreams” motif is continued with images of golden ornamental Koi. The rest of the knife is masterfully
engraved by Ron Skaggs and includes a series of traditional Japanese decorative motifs.
Ron’s wonderful carving
and skillful use of, silver, copper and solid gold help complete this top-of-the-line
Joe Kious folding dagger. And as usual the entire back-strap is
elegantly filed. This could be Ron’s finest work ever!
By the way – Ron is thinking of retiring and if that is the case examples of his work will only become more valuable in the very near future.
