Example sentence(s):
  • 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

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

Reference information:
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:))
