I've been looking at these Frost knives from Sweden...
this one in particular... 9 bucks.. comes with matching OD green scabbard

Some sort of Swedish Army knife, about 8.5 inches overall, about 4 inch blade. I think I want like 20 of them, and they would still be cheaper than one of my cheapest Benchmades.

Also, this gutting knife...
wouldn't this be the perfect shroud/seatbelt/paracord cutting knife? I admit that the handle is a little too much, but maybe we can sand that down a bit, or even replace it alltogether. About 27 bucks for this sucker. And hey... how could I forget... hunters can even gut something with it...

Now, the swedish army knife is giving me one hell of a woodie... I'm thinking... "I can buy 10, and give one to Tom, another to Dick, and maybe two for Harry since he loses everything... and my mom, and dad and I'm sure my dog can use one as well... They come with a really nice little plastic scabbard...:confused: but I may need to buy twenty now cause then I'm running low...:confused: but for that price, maybe even an entire case... :confused: I wonder how many come in a case.":confused:
 
It's OK to have these feelings, I have them too.

Is it normal? I don't know.

If it's not, perhaps we could start a support group. :D
 
Frost's of Sweden is top quality, even though cheap. This is NOT the Frost company that sells all the Pakistan stuff. Their laminated steel is SHARP. The stainless is good too. These, Opinels and Old Timers are the best bang for the buck in the knife world. No frills, just performance. Everybody should have at least one, and for the price there is no excuse not to. You may even end up using it more than your fancier ones.
 
Well I don't need a pebble in my shoe. But I also appreciate the Frost utility knives from Sweden. First I saw them was when I was in Gothenberg, Sweden, in a hardware store. There must have been a dozen different varieties/colors, in counter top buckets like candy sticks in apothecary jars. Definitely appealed to my sweet tooth. I kicked myself for not picking one up (or a few) before returning to the States. Happily, I was able to locate a US seller, online, and finally got my hands on one. Next visit to Sweden though, I will fill a corner of my suitcase with a handful of these sharp, economical, little blades.

Sorry. . .but I don't share your inflection. And I'm not a knife snob even !

It's a personal preference. . . What's the old sayin'. . .

Whatever turns your crank ! ;)



As long as you carry a knife. . .you're O-tay in my book ! :D
 
I love those inexpensive Mora knives. I have a Frost's Mora # 1 I got from Smokey Mountain Knife Works and an Eriksson Mora # 22 I got from Ragweed Forge. The Eriksson Mora is one of my favorites.

These were the types of knives that got me hooked on other Scandinavian knives from Norway, Sweden and Finland like Helle, Brusletto, Karesuando, Roselli and Marttiini.

Swedish Mora knives aren't pretty, but they sure can cut.
 
The Swedish army is a great knife. Sheath is awful, knife is great.
 
Hey, as long as it looks good it's OK in my book.

But I think 20 is a bit too many....
 
These suckers of the blade would most definately cut you if you try to shave your arm with it and change the angle just a little bit.
It's crazy sharp.
 
I have bought and given away at least 5 Gerber e-z outs, my favorite EDC. Still have 5 left in the top drawer of the knife case, just in case...
 
I have that first knife you pictured. Calyth was right, these knives are "crazy sharp".
Frost's of Sweden makes the best no-frills cutting instruments I've ever seen and used. Even if the sheaths and handles are tacky plastic, the knives cut and slice like nobody's business.
And at the insanely low prices they can be had for, why not pick up a few? I have four of them myself.:D
