Frosts Craftsman Triflex
I have to say that when I ordered this knife, I was a bit skeptical, based on price. Man oh man, was I wrong.
What a bargain!!
This knife has a pretty hefty sized handle, maybe a bit too large for my hand.
The guard is substantial enough, but I doubt it will interfere with daily use.
The blade is really sharp! It too went through the pine and mesquite with almost no effort. The edge seems to have held just fine, after my rudimentary test. This knife is exactly what I had in mind for a camp/tailgate beater knife, inexpensive yet very functional.
The sheath is kinda neat, but kinda flimsy as well, in the belt attachment area. It's pretty obvious the Swedes don't go in for 1 3/4" Bianchi gunleather,
but this should work on a narrower belt. The sheath grips the knife nicely at the guard, and shaking the knife upside down wouldn't make the knife fall free. I reckon it will do.
I have a feeling that when Lil Bit gets her hands on the Frost's it will go in her back pack, if I turn my head for a milisecond.
But hey, at $11 a piece, that's fine too.
Thanks for the advice and recommendations, yall.

I got a pair of triflex - Eric Frost (not Jim
) and I'm as pleased as punch with them. The only other in their class is the Cold Steel Mini-Bushman which is superior to the fool-sized Bushman. Best production blades I've seen. On a DOTD though a Sgt. Khada of the same size is only twice the price and it's hand made
There's a place for both though. Wouldn't want to throw that red velvet in the back of the pick-up.
