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 double "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 "Greek Myth" motifs are continued with images of Medusa and her victims.
The rest of the knife is also masterfully engraved by Ron Skaggs, and includes images of Zeus and Hercules battling the Hydra as well as Perseus battling Medusa.
Ron's wonderful carving and skillful use of 24K yellow gold in hi-relief to 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!
