Ron Lake

The “Father of the Modern Day Folding Knife,” Ron has received numerous awards, had knives included in collections of the Smithsonian Institution, and even coauthored a book on the subject How To Make Folding Knives. Yet the things he may be most proud of are the patented safety features he’s created, like LAWKS® and L.B.S.™ (Lockback Safety System). You’ll find them in knives he’s designed for us like the Lake 111™.
