Here's a Frost Hunter Trapper I gave to one of my buddies. I think it was made in the "C" country. The ones made in Japan and the ones made in that "C" country look alike to me.

Dogg, I haven't seen anything about Frost Cutlery being owned by Smith & Wesson, but you may know something I don't. ::shrug:: Smith & Wesson Holding Company recently bought Taylor Brands, which per their website owns Schrade, Schrade Walden, Old Timer, Uncle Henry, Imperial, Western, Ulster, New York Knife, and numerous other old cutlery brands. Most if not all currently being made in China. ::barf:: Except for a couple of brands made in Germany I think most of Frost's stuff is also made in China. ::barf:: ::barf::

I can't seem to get my head around buying a Frost knife. Heck, I just began accepting Rough Rider knives 1 1/2 years ago. Frost knives, not so much.

When I first got into knives back in the mid to late 80's (pre-internet & Motley Crue was all over the radio) ... SMKW had catalogs full of Frost Cutlery knives. Memories a bit foggy now, but I recall some of them were made in Japan back then. I had a bunch of them back then & recall they were pretty decent. My tastes have changed to all USA knives now, but recall the day when they were very popular - a lot of bang for the buck back then.

Here are 3 Steel Warrior knives with 'pearl' inlays in the brushed steel frame. The fit and finish on these is exceptional.

KJ I've always been fascinated by those little indentations on the Frost knives blades and the accompanying sticker where they were tested for Rockwell hardness. Of course it doesn't take a lot to entertain me. :D

Puma knives used to have the dent from Rc testing as well as an identical looking sticker. I bet that's where Frost got the idea , in part to create an association in a person's mind with these more expensive knives.

In comparing the Frost knives to the Rough Riders, at least the Steel Warrior brand, there is no difference between the two. At least with certain frames. To show this look at these two knives. One is a Steel Warrior and the other a Rough Rider.

The one on the top is a Rough Rider and the other of course is a Steel Warrior. The bottom knife has been used on my work bench for the last five years. I have hammered it through brass and mild steel rod. Its a Damascus laminate with a high carbon center. Takes a damn good edge not mention that it takes a beating, literally! The rough Rider is the backup and has never been used. I bought them both around the same time. They are the same. Fit and finish. Jigging and everything else. The bottom one is a bit faded from use over the years, but still a mighty fine knife!

RR & frost must be using the same manufacturer for some of their knives. It truly is amazing how well both these brands hold up even with 'rugged' use. I have used a few and every one has exceeded my expectations for edge holding and maintaining no play.
