A Frost Cliff Dweller TD006-40.   I assume this is one of their 100 knives for $100 knives.  They go online for anywhere from $5-$15.  It was given to me along with a about 30 or so other Frost products.  This was one of the…

Billy, We probably did get it from the same place, if it involved $5 flat rate shipping.   Jan, so far about the only thing it has cut up is a some cardboard. and it did that with flying colors straight from the box.  I've only…

I bought this Imperial scout knife on ebay last week. The scales have shrunk, but otherwise it is in good shape. The funny thing is I bought it  from a scout troop trying to raise money.

I have that one, Toby. I haven't used it to see how good the blade is. I couldn't resist buying it for the price point I bought it at. We probably bought it from the same place.

I like that style, not too fond of G10 but it has become evolved since it was only ugly orange.  This green is a great color.  Tobias have you used the Magnum?  I am considering one for my son but dont know about blade quality

The no frills Boker-Magnum "Groovy"  It has G10 scales and a Titanium coated 440 Stainless blade.  I think the bearings are teflon coated.  Either way it opens fast and easy with a simple flick.  Very nice for a $10-15.

Thanks for replying to my coment on nail splitter knives. I placed a part of a business card in the knife slot for the stubborn blade.  This works a little because the knife does not completely close. The only problem is that the very tip of the knife protrudes out a little.  I can open and close it reasonably easy but it could damage a pants pocket if used as an EDC.  I could use a knife pouch to solve that problem.  However, I will simply display this knife as part of my collection.  Like most collectors I have several knives to choose from as EDCs.

Hello Tobias Gibson.

I just wanted to tell you that your review on the RR Marlin Spikes was very good. The information was Interesting and your descriptions were very accurate that today I ran out and bought them all. Now all I need is someone who will do the scrimshaw on the Smooth bone.... I say thank you and keep the reviews coming!

Thanks  Toby.  I really feel stupid for not knowing about this site. If it was a secret to be kept from me, you can blame Doug.
