All About Pocket Knives

Happened to find this gem, an old gift, that I had put up and forgot about because at the time I was young and didnt think much of it. Now that I researched it, I found out I have a good knife in very good shape that is very desirable to many collectors! As far as I can tell it is authentic in pearl. With everything working as intended! If I am missing something that would suggest it is a replica, please tell. Also curious to what these go for now... may or may not be for sale. I havnt decided yet. But maybe I would be more inclined to sell to someone that would really appreciate it for a set or in a collection to display and put to use more-so than myself. Good luck to everyone finding your next own "gem". These have always been so much cooler to me than traditional pocket knives.

Here is the other side.

Modern with "pearl" plastic handle scales, and with cheap stamped steel bolsters. Sadly these are not the very desirable ones, I think I sold my black one for $25. Cool knife, just not a valuable one.

My guess is it's worth at least $150 on the low end. Sounds crazy but people really want these and are willing to pay up for them that are working and in good condition.

It's a 1960-1970 era model.

From the ring to the handle it looks authentic to me. Heres a good pic of the detail. Thanks for the inputs.

As I said- it's authentic.

That "ring" is known as the bail. (It is where a lanyard is attached to the knife).

The Faux Pearl is unique. De Shivs is correct, and that knife, in that condition can pull down a nice price. Just take a look at what the ordinary, later models, with plain black or white scales are going for on Ebay, when they don't get blown off by Ebay policy.
