Lady Godiva Automatic Custom Knife
Medieval history glorified Lady Godiva for her heroic r##e through town on a white horse, sans clothing! Problem: The king planned to levy a huge tax on the townspeople, but Godiva pleaded with the King not to do so. OK sa## the king, but only if you r##e naked through town on a white horse. She agreed, but only if the town was emptied. Opportunity: A shop keeper named Tom disobeyed the command and d##n?t leave town. He peeked through a knot hole in his door when Godiva rode by. Tom was immediately blinded. Thus the expression: Peeping Tom. Pull back the pocket locket tab to peek at disobedient Tom stealing a peek. Unexplainable without seeing it. The handle is one of Ron Skaggs finest engraving jobs. He has told the story in heavy bas-relief sculpting of Gold and Silver inlays galore, and a complexity of detail seldom seen in an engraving. Sl##ing pocket Locket. All the Gold is 24K.
