Old American slang for a pocketknife, particularly a long, thin-bladed folding knife.
Definitions
Old American slang for a pocketknife, particularly a long, thin-bladed folding knife. The imagery is vivid and country — the sort of knife you'd use to frog-gig or do general outdoor work with. It was common frontier and rural vernacular in the 19th and early 20th centuries. While the term is dated now, it survives in historical fiction, Western genre writing, and conversations about antique knife collecting.
His grandfather always kept a frog sticker in his overalls pocket — never knew when you'd need a blade out on the farm.
