A very nice vintage Frost Cutlery Barracuda featuring attractive abalone scales and Japanese production. This is a clean, well-presenting used example showing the honest signs of ownership and use you would expect from a vintage knife that has seen some pocket time.The knife has scuffs, scratches, and other evidence consistent with use, along with light to moderate patina throughout. None of this detracts from the overall presentation; in fact, it gives the knife the appropriate character of a genuinely used vintage piece. The abalone scales present especially well considering the knife’s used condition.The Japanese production is an important feature for collectors. Frost Cutlery knives produced in Japan are often associated with the earlier Parker-era ownership of Frost, and Japanese production is generally regarded as a step above much of the later Pakistani and Chinese production in terms of overall fit, finish, and construction.Mechanically, this is an excellent example. The action is great, blade centering is perfect, and lockup is solid. Everything functions as it should.Details:* Frost Cutlery Barracuda
