Can anyone tell me something about this knife. Does it have real buffalo horn grips/handle? Is it antique? Does it have any great monitary value?
I've never seen one like it before. As you can see in the picture it came in a wood display box.

Model #P172
They were made from 65-69, none in 1970 and then they started making them again in 1971 through early 80's.
Some have dots, some have circles around the shield.
I think they did one year for SMKW with a variation.
That's all the info I have.

I've two of them identical to yours. That is packawood I think not horn. Packwood is just a fancy name for a form of stabilzied plywood I think. Tough stuff. Carbon steel blades and these are BIG folders and very well done. The dots or circles indicate year of manufacture which you can look up somehwere on the net. keepem sharp
