FRONTIER KNIFE

 

FOUND: By my Mom while going through my Dad’s things.

I couldn’t find much on these in a quick internet search. I’m assuming the company is out of business and no longer making knives. There seems to be a modest cult following from perusing the forums. My Dad wasn’t necessarily a collector of knives but he had many and was always buying a new one. He gave me my first Columbia River Knife and Tool blade for Christmas several years ago. I still have it. And I’ve received more as the years went on.
