Hello, i’m looking to surprise my dad with a knife he lost as a kid. Here is his description , “ LOST! Been into knives since I was a little kid. Parents took me to Smoky Mountain Knife Works in the early 1990s. I bought a knife there that I carried for a few years and it got away from me somehow. It wasn't high end, most likely Frost or United cutlery or something similar. Had a thumb stud and an unusual exposed lockback lever making it very easy for one handed operation. Had a brown laminated handle. Drawing is my best approximation from memories 30+ years ago. I think of it often. I know this is a long shot but if anyone has seen something similar or knows wh where I can locate one l'd greatly appreciate it.“ Attached is a picture of a drawing, and an ai imagine of what it might look like.

Maybe this one

Edit: seller describes it as lockback and it appears to match your picture somewhat, but it looks as if it is actually a liner lock.

No problem friend
Frost lockback is actually one of my frequent ebay searches, so this was an easy find for me.
