I saw one of these at a gun show today. Any idea of the value? This pic was hijacked from another thread, but is the exact knife I found.

really it is! I got mine for $16 on ebay probably paid too much given the condition, it's a solid knife just one side of the blade had heavy pitting, and the celluloid has started to contract, i think i will eventually rehandle it!
I have seen these go for what i paid $16 all the way to oh my god! for one in tip top shape! it's worth what somebody is willing to pay, Since Camillus closed in 2007 their prices have gone up dramatically but as of late have stabilized a bit.
Camillus made excellent knives, probably my favorite manufacturer.
Cheers
Nice knife there;)

I believe the earlier versions of this knife had a shamrock icon on the handle along with the Fishermans Luck, the verbage on the bolster changed too. Ive seen both hook puller and disgorger used i believe.
one again great knife and it locks too

I like this pattern. Case makes one with a hook sharpener built into the scales.
Good stuff.
 
Looks like a sweet little knife. I have an Imperial on very similar and it cost me 12 bucks shipped on the bay. I used it to scale and gut fish ant the blade shape and scalers worked well.
 
Thanks for the input. Looks like a good one to pass on based on the fact that he wanted $40 for it. Cool knife though, may have to pick one up some time.
