Comment by Jan Carter on July 16, 2017 at 8:51: until you look at the map you dont realize how critical this area was. Even having lived on many of these islands I did not realize the proximity to the mainland of Japan and the Philippines

Comment by tim payne on July 16, 2017 at 7:16: this is one of my fav vintage frosts jan. looking closer at the handle, I think it's a map of the islands !

Comment by tim payne on July 16, 2017 at 7:11: agree with you miss jan, lots of vintage frost beauty out there

Comment by Jan Carter on July 15, 2017 at 19:57: I do wish that Frost still had Japan making the knives. They just seemed to have a been a step higher in quality. This is a standard lockback made fantastic by just adding some good etching and a wonderful handle
