I'm hoping to restore them and pass them down to my youngest grandson. He will appreciate them and most likely pass them to his future children, he's only 12 now.
The 4, 2 top and bottom look in good condition. Time he learns what a gentleman’s knife is.

The fisherman's knife still has the hook sharpening rock in the handle. They normally fall out.

My wife lucked into a job at the Western Cutlery factory in Longmont when we moved there in 1990. Coolest place ever. She worked in the front office with Mr. Harvey Platts & Co. She enjoyed going back in the factory with the workers. She took me on a tour one time; fantastic old-school handwork.
The nice Hispanic ladies in back had a weekly ritual of bringing in home-cooked breakfast burritos and tamales for sale. Oh, did I ever scarf that stuff.
She had her pick of any inventory at employee pricing. At the end, they cleared all the new-old stock, and we took a bunch.
I've kept it over all those years. I think I have one of the best of the old intact collections still in existence.
I use some of it daily for practical uses, and now and then take out some of the rare fine pieces just to marvel at them.

Cool story. I got to tour the Frost Cuttlery shop when Mr. Jim was alive. Coolest thing to watch them build knives.
Frost never had what I would consider collectable Knives, but the shop and store is still going in Chattanooga and are now selling all kinds of knives.

I know the Frost Name. I haven't followed the industry, but I guess these days it's gone over to small factories and custom producers, most with some assistance from modern machining technology.
I discovered Forged in Fire a few years back, and I love it. Old school smiths burning and hammering iron into weapons!
Called Case this morning, explained what I had and what I was wanting.
Lady told me to submit a repair ticket and someone would get back to me.
So it's a waiting game now.
