So, what's the deal with Frontier brand traditional folders?

[MeanBeaver]

I found a frontier stockman at a flea market. The craftsmanship seems nice. Walk and talk are alright. Blades are ground great and there's no blade rub. It has brass bolsters and what feels like real wood grips. The only marks are on the main clip blade. It says "Frontier double eagle" on the blade, and "4435 imperial stainless USA" on one ricasso, and "frontier" on the other ricasso. I'm curious what anyone knows about the knife. I can't seem to get much info online about what type of steel is used or anything like that. I'm guessing either 440A or 440C. I'm interested in reading what everyone has to say about them.

They were made by Camillus for Imperial. Check this out http://www.collectors-of-schrades-r.us/frontiers/index.htm I have a small collection of 125 of them.
