This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 12/16/2025

An exquisite knife crafted by Joe Kious, who is best remembered by his double pocket locket auto knives. This example features a Jerry Rados "Turkish Twist" Damascus blade with mesmerizing pattern. Side of the ricasso is subtly signed "KIOUS". Frame is engraved 416 stainless steel with silver, 24K gold, rose gold, green gold, and turquoise inlays all of which were executed by C.J. Cai. Side of frame is signed "C.J. CAI". The scenes depict Vikings in battle and death. When the pocket lockets are retracted they reveal the consequences of a Viking death with one displaying a burning skull and the other a Viking raising a beverage while embraced by a beautiful woman. The frame conceals a gold toothpick with diamond stud. Auto and lockback mechanisms function properly. Housed in a plush rayskin zipper case. Light handling wear throughout. Excellent. PROVENANCE: From the collection of Frank Brownell.
