Frost Rodgers?

[cody6268]

Looks like Frost is hard at work ruining the reputation of another legend in cutlery, this time the time-honored Sheffield firm Joseph Rodgers.

On eBay there are at least three different patterns, a Stockman, Jack, and Trapper all in that ugly looking Frost "bone".

But how? Their trademarks are not expired. Egginton in England is still making knives under the Joseph Rodgers name IN ENGLAND. I smell a lawsuit if Frost hasn't bought the brand (like they did with both Buck Creek and Kissing Crane) or are licensing the name. All I can say is that I hope and pray they have not bought the name.

Jos. Rodgers has not been 'the same' knife company ever since WW II. The older Jos. Rodgers knives go from extremely well made to world class cutlery. But knives made after WW II for the most part are of a lower quality. So who owns the names now or where the knives are made doesn't really matter because 'Jos. Rodgers' died a long time ago.

My guess is that Frost bought a license to market under the Rodgers brand and not necessarily bought the brand itself.
