Joe Kious Custom Knife "Wall Street" Engraved by Ray Cover Jr. Lockback Auto .
Joe Kious was from Kerrville, Texas. He was a full-time knife maker
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.
