Frost Cutlery... any good or just junk?

I keep seeing Frost Cutlery package deals on one of the TV shopping channels. They offer multiples of several different kinds of knives and usually include several fantasy Bowies and a sword or two. They seem to be aimed at flea market or gun show dealers, but I was thinking of buying one of the packages just to have the big knives and use the others for Christmas or birthday gifts. Considering how cheap they are, are those knives any good?.

Exactly. Junk dealers buy those knives for $1 apiece, sell them for $3. Not a bad profit margin, but crap bottom-of-the-line Chinese imports none-the-less.

I'd be very sad if someone gave me one for a gift. You want to buy one yourself out curiousity, go for it. But please don't torture others.

Best Wishes,

Absolutely great knives!*






*For chipping, rusting, and filling landfills.
 
I watch those shows for a good laugh when there is nothing else on -- I love it when they say this such and such knife is a $29 retail value, like that is a tremendously high price for a knife and you are getting it for a $1.13 or some such nonsense. Lot of gullible people out there, someone must be buying this junk.:barf:

You can buy a Buck 110 at Wally World for that much. I would rather throw my money in a ditch than use it to buy any of that garbage. :barf:

Are there many ditches around your neighborhood? :D
 
There's a clip floating around the internet of some Home Shopping Network-type guy trying to sell a katana of this level of quality (don't know the brand). Anyway, he whacks it a couple times on the table to show how strong it is, and the last foot or so of blade snaps off and sticks him in the gut! :eek: One of those funny but so sad moments.

Anyway, don't fall for the sales pitch - those knives are absolute junk! :thumbdn:
 
There is another knife company known as Frosts, also known as Frosts of Sweden, that makes excellent small Scandinavian fixed blades. Not the same people at all!
 
Oh, Frost cutlery is among the finest of all knife makers. They make Uber badass blades that are so tuff and cool that they can only be described as "the Chuck Norris" of the knife world. :thumbup:

Is this the one?
 
Chris Reeve started Frost cutlery and sold it to Benchmade, who sold it to Spyderco, who sold it to Kershaw, who sold it to CRKT, who sold it ....:D

Seriously, avoid the Frost Kay-Rapp and stick to stuff that at least cost $20!
 
I heard that one Frost knife actually withstood a CHUCK NORRIS roundhouse kick.

Probably an urban legend tho'. May have actually been a Randall with "FROST" etched into the blade.

Edited to add: the video is hilarious.
