Default Identify this Knife

Hey Guys,

I’ve had this knife that was passed down from my Grandfather for the past 5years or so.

I haven’t used it much as I was unsure if it had any value and I didn’t want to risk losing something so sentimental.

Any idea what it is? Only marking is on the blade and says stainless china

Sentimental value only... Sharpen it and use it with a smile on your face while remembering gramps! No better value than that IMHO.

Likely a gas station grab bin, or similar blade, nothing outwardly special, except it was your grandfathers, carry and use it with pride.

it appears to be a copy of the Buck 110 folding knife as the only marking is on the blade and says stainless China.

The high value here is sentimental only.
Every time you bring it out to use, it is like your gramps is standing beside you.

I have a Stanley thermos that was my dads; even though it is all scratched and dented I am always reminded of all the great days in the field with him...

RIP dad...

Have the same knife. Got it at home hardware in Forestburg around 1997/98 for around 15$. Sharpen it up clean it up and use it or keep it as a display piece.

Looks like an old Ruko I had. Very much a Buck 110 knock off

That said clean it, sharpen it, enjoy it

Cheap Chinese knock off, 20 bucks. Grandfather's cheap Chinese knock off, priceless.
