Can someone identify this knife please?

[s.c.]

This knife was given to my father as gift 12 years ago. Can anyone make out the maker's name or give me any info on it?

Thanks.

Just like the knife says, it's by Rod Chappel

Thanks! I couldn't make it out myself. I can't read the first two lines on the third pic (sorry, I don't know why imageshack rotated it). I didn't know if those were P's or F's. Google search reveals Roderick Caribou Chappel. Thanks again.

Excuse me for asking, but what's something like this worth?

Yep, saw that question coming before you typed it. Suggest you use your computer and do a bit of research yourself.

Thanks for the input. Turns out its worth much more than I expected, which ironically means I'll keep it (for now, at least).

FYI, your Hunting Leopard is one of the more desired examples of Rod's work...he is a very interesting character with a long, colorful and somewhat scandalous history in the knife world.
