Whatsit?

A buddy found this at a feed store here in Texas. It had a square end (until he asked me to round it off), and there is a bevel down the center of the blade. It is very cheaply made, but sharpened up nicely.
He suggested it may be a square-end leather upholstery knife? I am leaning in that direction myself. Any one have any other feedback?
Thanks in advance.

Been asked here before ... It's generally called a 'shoe knife'

Most Frost brand knives are imported from either China or Pakistan, and generally have low value. They do make great users though, and I own a few of them.
The country of origin is usually etched onto the back of a blade to and easily wears off.
From the jigging pattern on the bone of yours I suspect it was made in Pakistan during the 1990's, but I may be wrong. That is just a guess.

Regardless, as pointed out in replies to your other post about the knife, it’s got severe problems - looks like a broken spring.
