So my younger brother finds out I've gotten into collecting knives and he tells me he's got a knife for me that I can have. He's pretty excited about it and says he can't wait to give it to me. I'm kinda of excited, wondering what could it be?

So next time I'm over his house, he comes out other room with this fixed blade. At first glance I can tell it's weird, just by the handle and the sheath.

I pull the sucker out and I was like oh man. :eek: I think I threw up in my mouth a little. Haha LOL. :p

This is what I was given -

:D:D:D

I guess as the story goes, our grandparents bought this for him when he was a little kid and brought it back like from a trip to Florida or something.

It does say "Frost Cutlery Surgical Steel" on one side and it's stamped "JAPAN" on the other.

So now I'm stuck with this thing. Gee thanks Bro. :) Anyone want a knife? LOL.

Just thought it was a funny story to share..
 
LOL.. well its the thought that counts...
If you try talking to people about your brand new "sebenza 21" they'll ask what is that? when u say a $400 knife.. they'll think your dumb... happened to me SO MANY TIMES.. and its so frustriaighting... wish i knew more knife-lovers IRL...
 
That knife looks GRATE! (I spelled the correct word) Being a younger brother myself I suspect that your brother must have strong feelings toward you.

Why that's what you call a "dinosaur knife". It has the distinctive saw blade on top, the half-round cut-out on the blade, a shark-fin sticking above the blade, the multi-colored handle, and the extended almost pointed bare lanyard attachment sticking out the back of the handle. But mostly you can tell by the decal on the blade. If it were an aardvark knife it would have had an aardvark decal on the blade.

If you take a round file to the "serrations" you can end up with SEVEN gut hooks! just what you need with your normal run-of-the-mill dinosaur knife. Then etch your name on it and sell it for a LOT of cool cash. I'll bet it's made form old files. They make the finest knives, ever.

I thought the stamping said "squirrel" steel, not surgical steel. Maybe it's a squirrel knife???

Wear it with pride!

What's funny is that dinosaur sticker is it's actually clear coated in. It looked like tried to scratch it off at some point with no success.
 
This cant be made in Japan but China.I may even say the city,Yangjiang.

I guess its 4Cr steel.Though still a good toy.
 
The dino knife could be from Japan, but this is much more likely if it is 40+ years old, when Japanese goods sold here were still "cheap junk."
 
is your brother 10?? haha. I would have thought that was awesome at a young age
 
LOL That is awesome. Unfortunately I am familiar with Frost Cutlery. Ever see the Knife shopping show thats on at oh about 3 am in the morning. And you too can have all 100 knives for just 49.99. This includes the BIG SWAMP BOWiE, DRAGON SAMURAI Sword set. About 15 years ago, I ordered one of these sets which included a big frost cutlery bowie knife. I really did the world a disservice, as i sold them for 5 bucks each.
 
LOL...I think he knows I wasn't a fan. :-)

He was probably 8 when he got it and the kid LOVED Dinosaurs. But even with all that, he said he remembers thinking WTF? when my grandparents gave it to him. LOL.

Maybe I just will throw it up in the FS section for fun. It would be funny to see what happens.
 
If the thing is made in japan and is around 20 years old the steel is probably ok ,I had an old frost from around then and it was actually an ok knife. But then the knife I owned had a discernible purpose. It would be funny to see what you get in trade maybe someone will give you something better and you can trade and trade on up to a sebbie!!
 
The dino sticker on the blade means that this is THE knife that was used to kill Godzilla.:D.:D.
 
man in the 80's for a kid around 7-11 rangeish that would have been one awesome gift! not as good as one of those rambo knives, but the next best thing.

curious was your brother having a laugh at you when he handed it over, or did he think you'd think it was a nice gift? cause either way is hilarious to see what i imagine the look on your face was like expecting something interesting like an old buck 110 other brand like a slip joint boker or what have you.... and getting the dinosaur combat knife. if it were mine i'd mount it on the wall of my home office. just cause it's that over the top, and no i have no interest in buying it from you...it's a family heirloom now...it's yours until the end.:)
