frost cutlery paul “bear” bryant Feb. 3, 1986 hall of fame knife

[James Smith]

Someone has to know something about this knife, I can’t find any pictures or mention of this knife anywhere on the internet, literally spent 2-3 hours trying every combination of letters in my search to no avail. My mom said my dad bought it 30+ years ago without a box at a local pawn shop for 50$, and it’s been in my family since. Any help whatsoever would be greatly appreciated. All text on knife includes “frost cutlery surgical steel”, “frost” with a circle around it at the bottom, “226” which you can barely make out, “U.S. Pat. 4173068”, and finally “Paul “Bear” Bryant selected to the football hall of fame feb. 3, 1986″ inlaid in red

Frost cutlery started out in 1969. Here is a great page with some history of the company:

You probably already know, but Paul William “Bear” Bryant was an American college football player and coach. Some consider him the greatest football coach of all time.

I think your Frost Cutlery knife is worth between $25-50 dollars. It’s probably worth more to football fans than to a antique knife collector, due to it’s age (it’s pretty modern, an antique is considered at least 100 years old).
