trappa 517 Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 Anyone got one?? Im looking for a decent knife that doesnt cost the earth as i have a tendency to lose them. They are only pennies so dont know whether this is a good or bad thing. And also whats the crack with the colour coded handles??? cheers boys Quote Link to post
Little Butch 16 Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 I've got 2 as I thought I lost one, both In Stainless.. They're no thrills but do the Job! Butch Quote Link to post
trappa 517 Posted January 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 Cheers butch. Whats the crack with the different coloured handles mate? Quote Link to post
Little Butch 16 Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 (edited) Nothing I don't think.. Get the Clipper, much more comfortable handle but just as strong They're only Stick Tang but very sturdy, I've abused mine over the years and It's still goin'! Splitting wood and all sorts..

oxo 385 Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 Cannot not go wrong with any of the Frost knives, easy to sharpen and take a excellent edge. The carbon blades discolour but are better imo. Quote Link to post
droid 11 Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 The carbon steel blades are sharp as....a very sharp thing. Well recommended. Quote Link to post
jimb 30 Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 The only knife I use Quote Link to post
Guest AngelicAcid Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 Ive got the stainless version and it seems to be a very canny knife for the price. Go on e bay, or greenman bushcraft, the handles just mean that you can see the luminous ones a lot easier. Quote Link to post
TOMO 24,876 Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 i have the frost clipper with the bright orange sheath so i dont loose it i have it in stainles which keeps it looking new. sharpens up well with the blade tech. would recomend them it cost me £10 at a game fair a few year back Quote Link to post

Thats the same place I get mine ,have to agree with Tomo they take and keep a good blade with the bladetech Quote Link to post
Hob&Jill 258 Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 They are great knives I grind mine to a drop point, same as I do with opinels. Quote Link to post

The carbon blades discolour but are better imo. I think the 'discolouring' you refer to Is a Patina.. Carbon Steel Knives build this up with use and It builds up more of a resistance to Rust! The Carbon Knives are more easier to Sharpen than th Stainless but don't hold an edge for as long.. Butch Quote Link to post
ssssh1forthepot 0 Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 I have the carbon steel one, it does disscolour if you dont clean and oil it but holds a much sharper edge IMO got mine off the Ray mears website. Quote Link to post
Little Butch 16 Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 In my eyes It's best to not clean It that often.. Just make sure you Oil It and It stays dry.. Even moisture will rust a Carbon Steel Blade! Butch Quote Link to post
