I'd bet it's worth a couple grand from what I've seen of real Lile's, but you'd be better off posting this question over in Bernard Levine's forum here on BFC. One of the first things he'll ask you for is some photos.

Kim,
Call John Greco. He knows more about Lile and his knives than most.

Thanks will try John if I can find his phone # if not will try Bernard.

Jackie, who used to work with Jimmy Lile, was still in the knife business last time I saw her, and would know I bet. I will see if I can find her number when I get home.
