dzepni nozic/ noz

Pretpostavljam da se u Vasem primjeru ironicno porede macevi koje su nekada nosili japanski vojnici sa danasnjima koji vise lice na dzepne nozice. Evo sta sam pronasla:

frog sticker

–noun
1. Slang. a knife, esp. one carried as a weapon.
2. Chiefly South Midland and Southern U.S. a pocketknife.

Ne znam sta se desilo sa mojim odgovorom. Trebalo je da stoji: dzepni nozic/ noz "skakavac".
Example sentence:

Then I saw the glitter and knew that he had a knife in his hand, probably the kind of mean knife just made for devilment and nothing else, with a blade as long as the blade of a frog-sticker, which will snap out ready when you press a button in the handle

Hvala.
neutral bonafide1313 : slažem se da je moguć i ironičan kontekst, no u primjeru iz vaše rečenice autor razlikuje nož (džepni) od frog stickera, uspoređuje dugu oštricu "skakavca" s oštricom frog stickera

bajuneta

postoji i mogućnost da je to vojnički "slang" za bajunetu

Frogs Significance?
What is the significance of the frog in Japanese customs/traditions?

Ne znam dopušta li kontekst rješenje u tom smislu, tj. radi li se o nekoj "naljepnici" sa slikom žabe za sreću, ili se možda frog odnosi na dio (opremu sablje) koji se naziva frog... ili naravno nešto sasvim treće:))
