Late 80's/Early 90's Frost

Post by calico jack »

I'm new to this, so forgive me if I don't know any protocals. I'm a small business cutlery dealer, and a friend ask me to I.D. a couple of knives. Without photos this may be hard, but here goes: 1) Frost Cutlery "Little Coon Skinner". No sign of China, Pakistan, or any other country stamping. Orange color jigged bone handle, 3" long. 2)Frost 2-blade. One blade is razor and the other is shaped like a vultures head(hawk bill design). Both blades on same end if handle. Dark smokey grey jigged bone handle, made in Japan. Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi Scott,

I have 0 knowlege in this area. The only thing that I can think of doing is emailing frost about the knives... I know that Case keeps records about their knives, maybe Frost does too???

MY you this is just my opinion and I certainly don't want to cause any one trouble, so please remember this as you read. In my opinion, Frost is a lesser quality company and produces mass quanities of so called collectables. Yes they function but for the collectors of pocket knives these are not desirable. But if your looking to turn a profit and bought them right, them by all means get what you can. Infor on them would be slim to none. Just my thoughts.
