People don't give frost cutlery enough credit. Sure they are not the best knives in the world but they are sure better then some others.
People don't give frost cutlery enough credit. Sure they are not the best knives in the world but they are sure better then some others. If you buy a frost cutlery knife for 15 bucks and use it THE WAY YOUR SUPPOSED TO, keep it cleaned, oiled and sharpened then they will last you and you can do the same thing as with some of your top brand knives. Odviously if you hit it off of a tabel its gonna break they aren't supposed to be hit off tabels. No knives are made to be hit on a tabel but some can stand more of a beating. So many people look down on people who buy cheaper knives when in reality alot of people don't want to spend 100-200 dollars on a knife, or can't afford to. If people like cheaper knives then why should people talk bad about people who can't afford or just don't want an expensive knife. It sickens me to look at some of the post and hear people say bad things about cheap knives and cheap knife buyers. If you don't like cheap knives, fine don't buy them but don't be ignorant to people who do.
They aren't very good. Someone at work keeps buying these things and they keep falling apart, liners bending, blades chipping/snapping, handles cracking, etc., pretty much any way you have ever seen a knife break and more and these have done it, essentially cutting cardboard. I told him to drive down to Dicks and shell out the WHOPPING $30 for a Buck, a Kershaw or a Gerber. And for those using the argument that some people don't want to put out the amount of money to get a good folder, two of my current favorite work knives, the Buck Vantage and the Kershaw Sweet, cost me about twenty five dollars.
as bad as I hate to admit it, the usa knife market is going down hill fast
No, it isn't.
Luckily for the American knife industry, what you think has no effect on them.overall I think it is but feel free to elaborate.

To most people, it is readily apparent that it is not as you say, "going downhill fast," so perhaps you should elaborate why you foresee such doom and gloom.

mostly is the simple fact that alot to most big knife corps are sellingout and moving overseas and the ones which aren't are importing parts to build their product, there will always be knife makers here in the usa, but quality has suffered with most big corp knife companies, it is apparent as you state, there are makers and quality still here but looking at the makert 10 years ago to today the market has a diffrent face and it has and contiues to go downhill! but I am thankful for u.s knife makers for good quality products and hope more corps will come back to the country that made their names "household and family names" thanks for your viewpoint.
You will have to be more specific. What knife companies do you think are selling out, and in what way are they doing so?
as stated, yes current production is from china as some or much of kershaw and gerber, I have kershaws and love them but I have old frost knives and love them as well, I will say this, the frost knives will never matchup to the company it was when it was parker/frost cutlery, but if all it takes to make a knife junk is being from china hell most usa production knives are assembled from china made parts!
as bad as I hate to admit it, the usa knife market is going down hill fast, so I say to true 100% usa knife makers, keep up the good work and we as customers will pledge our devotion to you, hail usa!!!!!
the list of companies that have moved overseas would be extensive, there have been enough that even a few have found that it was not as cost effective and have since moved back to the states, as far as companies that use imported parts it is also vast, which I am not even about to try to list all parts which are imported, it is undeniable, anyone who has been buying knives for a number of years can see the changes that have happened in the u.s knife market place, so as to your suggestion of "You will have to be more specific", read a few articals, lookup knife news, look at what knives are being stocked on shelves at your local dealers, if I have to convince you that the market is more foreign based than it was 10 years ago, then you are just covering your eyes and being closed minded, I have stated MHO and I will let yall have at it, if we deny that it is happening it will not go away,this is just an excerpt from an artical about buck knives and chuck buck which was one of the companies to yo-yo back and forth:
The decision to go overseas was agonizing for the Bucks. Chuck Buck winces when he hears from customers upset to see Made in China on a Buck knife.
hmm, seems even it is evident to the knife corps.
