Default ABOUT A KNIFE

My friend has a 1981HD knife registered # 1285/3000 in excellent condition. He has the original wooden HD box. It was issued shortly after the buy out from AMF. Does anyone have an idea about its value or where I might go for the information.
Thank you in advance

If he's cleaned his toenails with it, it's not worth as much.

Google and eBay. Search eBay for recently sold items of the same kind.

Bottom line, it is worth no more or no less than what someone is willing to pay for it.

Depends what model it is, check ebay for a similar model. I would guess if nice wood and quality blade $100+. If it's special maybe more.
