Help please...

About 25 years ago I received, as a gift, a Shrade I XL BS20, 3 1/8" lockback, limited edition no.10779, produced by George Wostenholm & Son, of Sheffield, England.
Has this knife attained any value as a collectable, or should I just carry it as a nice looking pocket knife?
Thanks for any information or help you can give me.

I would think it is be worth holding on to if it is unused. And more so if you have the original packaging. Looks like there may have been two different handles, bone and stag. Probably a knife you could show off a little with though, if you pull it out of your pocket.

thawk...thanks for the reply. I do have the box and paperwork, and it has never been used, only out of the box 3-4 times. If it has a possibility of being a collectable I'll pass it on to my son. God knows he won't be gettin' much else. LOL
