Your knife was part of the "Classic Car Series" by Schrade, four knives issued between 1990 to 1992. Others were the '65 Mustang, '56 T-Bird & '57 Chevy.
How many were issued, I don't know. Would not have been unusual for Schrade to make between 5,000 and 8,000 of these sorta knives. Depending on the pattern of the knife, I am guessing it would be worth $40-$75 today. The fact that the knife celebrates the Corvette would add to the value, Car nuts would wanna bid on this one as well.
What do you other guys know about this commemorative? How's my guessing on number made and value?

I just checked out past prices these things have fetched on ebay, all MIB. A Mustang went the highest, at $56. A '57 Chevy and T-Bird failed to meet reserves, and ended unsold at $34-$40. Appears that the whole series was 4" lockbacks. I still think that the Corvette would sell for the most.
