Art Knife Invitational 2009 - Ron Appleton
#1 LOCKING FOLDER

Reduced in size, Multa-lock mechanism locking folder is the first of its kind. Thirty three percent smaller than the standard Appleton platform it is unique by its scale alone. Made from ATS-34 it is inlaid with copper ore stone. It has non-rotating double through frame buttons made of hardened A-2 tool steel. The blade has a convex contour, concealed within the handle halves.

#2 “ESME”

Standard size Ketos knife is a slide-joint folder. Based on the IQ mechanism, full locking lugs make this mechanism extremely strong and precise. A combination of curved contours and flat planes along with the first finished trick mechanism of its kind form an interesting piece.

#3 KNIFEMAKERS IQ FOLDER

Made from Ketos tool steel and the first IQ mechanism made in over 6 years. Strong, reliable and simple elegance among with a lack of obvious method of blade lock the IQ mechanism has befuddled those not in the know for over 25 years.
