Hi There, brand new to this forum and an admitted ignorant soul when it comes to sharp things, hehe. If I'm posting this in the wrong location, I apologize and will ammend if needs be. Now to my question...
I need some help. We were recently cleaning out my late Grandfathers old workdesk when I came across a very interesting pocket knife, (Interesting to me that is lol). I have researched till my fingers can't type any more and have not been able to find ANY details about this particular issue knife.
Here is what I do know, it is a Frost Cutlery knife. From a couple of posts here I understand Frost doesn't hold the highest respect among knife afficianados, but it seems to be a very well made pocket knife. It is made of Surgical Steel out of Japan. I THINK it is made of Ivory... seems to white and pure to be bone considered its apparent age, and its definitely not plastic... too hard and lined. Heres the interesting part... it has a Dizzy Dean signature on it, with "OL DIZ" typed directly underneath. To the left it has, at least imitation, scrimshawed pictures of Dizzy Deans face and body in baseball uniform. On the metal part it has the number 232 which makes me think it must be some kind of collectible. I'm thinking it must be from the 70's or 80's. I will attempt to attach pictures to this post.
If anyone can help me it would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
