Comments: This Joe Kious Medium Persian inter-frame is as clean and elegant as they come. Cornelian scales of a deep burgundy color set off the flawlessly polished stainless bolsters. And the back-strap and blade are back-filed in the classic Joe Kious rope pattern. The lock release is topped in 18k gold adding a touch more color to this subtle and sophisticated piece. The knife was wonderfully engraved with a Tiger on one side and a Leopard on the other in 18K gold by Master Jon Robyn. And although it looks great here in the photo, you really need to see it in person to get the full affect. Absolutely wonderful! Thanks Joe and Jon.
