Value is very dependent upon condition as much as rarity. And these earlier Schrade Walden fixed blade knives do not have a huge following the way many of the pocket knife patterns do.
Is it real? Dunno since there is no picture. But yes, they really did produce a #145 pattern knife for a while.
The #145 was the same pattern and handle material as the 140, but without handle grooves in the Stratawood, and with a plainer birdshead pommel. First seen in 1953, it had a 8 1/4" overall length, a 4" hollow ground stainless blade, and aluminum alloy guard and pommel. It listed in 1955 for $4.95, was listed in 1957 as the 145, 145L, and 145WE (Wonda-Edge serrated blade), but gone by 1959.
