It is my understanding they are made in Bradford and assembled in TN. TN is still part of the US and Frost has been putting together knives for quite a while so I still do not see this as anything other than the standard type of jobbing that happens all through out this industry
I was asking specifically about Frost, Chattanooga Tennesee. If an unnamed "steel manufacture" is assembling knives, they may be made in the US, but they are not "HandMade in Bradford, PA" Comment by Bob Andrews
I am not sure I like that, I thought they were all made and assembled in Bradford.
Max, some great looking knives.

Bob, there is also a steel manufacture that assembles trappers and builds some parts for it. Both of those instances would still considered made in the USA. If they to outsource to produce the numbers I am ok with it since they are outsource to US jobs. Jobbing in this industry has been going on since the first factory in the US
The Corelon handles aren't "added" by Frost.
The Corelon Handled knives are something else entirely. Frost owns the rights to Corelon, Case supplies the knives, the knives are assembled by Blue Grass Cutlery in Kentucky. That's what Fred Feightner, Director of Marketing for Case, told me in a phone conversation a few years ago. My previous post refers to something else entirely. The person told me he saw Bone Handled Case knives being assembled at the Frost Cutlery building in Chattanooga Tennesee.
Frost has been adding Corelon Plastic handles to Case knives for some time.
This info has been borrowed from the TKC Knives website,
Authorized by Case, Frost
Cutlery has created some dazzling Corelon handles that bring an unsurpassed
beauty to the quality of Case Knives. The results are a beautiful knife that is
ready to handle any job with the ease of Case, at a price you can afford. Add a
touch of Class to your everyday work!
I have a good friend that says he saw Case Knives being assembled at the Frost Cutlery place in Chattanooga TN. Anyone care to comment?
