Not sure if this is the right place to post this. That aside, my friend has this knife and we want to know what “model” it is, and if it is potentially worth anything. It says “Pakistan” and “Surgical Steel” on one side as well as “Chipaway Cutlery” on the other. The blade is 11.5”. Thanks for the help.

There are rules about asking what a knife is worth.

Beyond that, you should be able to google those details to find the "fair market" price for the Pakistani display piece. Your hamper is likely worth more and is more functional, but if you enjoy it then :thumbsup:
 
Honestly, it's a piece of junk. It's basically decorative, and not in a good way.
 
Chipaway Cutlery is a Frost Cutlery side brand. If you can't find the model, email them. They are very modest knives price and quality wise as mentioned.

Exactly, and that is the Frost cutlery eagle on the sheath.

One thing to keep in mind is that the box may call it something different than the name they sell it by.
As a kid I had a cheap Muela Bowie copy from frost / Chippaway sold as the Colorado trail maker that was called a Flamenco Bowie on the box

That bottle of Coke is worth more than this knife and would honestly make a better display piece of you ask me.
And no I'm not just being snobbish, I had a bunch of this kind of junk as a kid and know how bad it was.
 
That is a cheap (in all regards/aspects)
"knife shaped object" intended to be hung on a wall and looked at. It is not usable.

The mystery steel blade likely has no heat treat, and may well be made from recycled automotive body parts which cannot be hardened or heat treated.

If it were mine, I would deposit it and the sheath in the middle of the nearest river or deep lake, so no innocent could find it and attempt to use it, possibly injuring themself.
 
You know what that really is? A 12 year olds gateway drug into this hobby. I'm going to guess that the majority of us posting here cut our teeth (no pun intended...well maybe a little intended) on knives like these.
When I was a young teen, I had dozens of crappy knives like this. I bought them, I used them, I broke them, I learned that I wanted something better.

The knife pictured is a piece of junk in every way. However, once you understand its limitations the owner will eventually gravitate toward higher quality as financial resources increase.
