I've been watching a skinner knife made by frost covered. Just wondering if this brand is decent knife?
I've never heard of them before, but it seems well done.
Well this is a 180 degrees out fromJD response, but as a collector's knife almost all samples countries, I have no one Frost Cutlery knife, and I have no plans. The Frost knives I've seen have been a low-quality steel and pretty bad workmanship. The who have performed in Pakistan are the worst quality I've seen, followed closely by their knives made in China. I'm not saying that knives made in Pakistan or China are rubbish, on the contrary, what I'm saying is that the knives of ice that are made in Pakistan and China is not worth buying. From my experience people Frost knives they do not know knives. Have you ever seen the shopping channel on television at home late at night? See Frost Cutlery knives that are sold at a dollar each, there good reason for it, that's all that really worth it.

Can someone re-word this?
During the first millennium B.C.E. a highly superior steel product was made in India, in a region near Hyderabad. Well known for its strength and its wavy patterned surface, it was especially desirable for making sword blades. Some think that the ore found in that area just happened to have the right impurities to give the steel special properties. The hot iron was repeatedly forged and folded to produce a metal of extremely high quality that became famous all over the ancient world. It was especially sought after by Europeans, who called it "wootz"; by Moors living in Spain, who used it to make their Toledo blades; and by Arabs, who used it in their famous Damascus swords.
The ONLY sentence I would reword (IMO) is:
Some think that the ore found in that area just happened to have the right impurities to give the steel special properties.
try: Some think that the ore found in that area contained certain impurities that gave the steel that was made from it those aesthetic properties.
BTW, who are the "Some"? It would make a stronger sentence if you specified who the "some" are. Historians? Metallurgists?
I would also take out the comma after 'Spain'
Damascus Blade
