Joe Kious Custom Knife “Wall Street” Engraved by Ray Cover Jr. Lockback Auto

Joe Kious was from Kerrville, Texas. He was a full-time knifemaker who sold his first knife in 1969. Joe specialized in investment-quality folding knives. It is his Pocket-Locket models for which he is best remembered. Featuring elaborate engraving, the folding knives include a small compartment in the handle with a sliding panel that slides back to reveal another engraved scene inside.
Joe became an internationally recognized craftsman whose creations were featured in numerous magazines, books, and films, and which will continue to be treasured by thousands. Sadly, Joe passed away in December 5th 2014.
The "Wall Street" engraving was done by Master Engraver Ray Cover Jr. from Mineral Point, Missouri. It features 24 K gold and platinum inlays. The engraving is done in the "Bulino" style and features "Bank Note" scroll work throughout.
This museum quality knife comes with a custom display case which was hand made by master carpenter Eric Padden.
