Not sure what information you are looking for. Low end stainless blade knife made in Taiwan. Not much more to say about it.
If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.

Probably a clone but of what I have no clue, being made in Taiwan it's probably a descent knife.

There are a lot of lower-cost imported knives out there that do not carry a manufacturer's name. In the 80's and 90's they were primarily sold at Flea Markets, nowadays sold online and in convenience stores & truckstops as well. Some are junk, while some are well made.
Just by guessing, yours is probably a decent user, made with 440 stainless steel or something close. It has no value other than as a tool to cut things, and there is no real information as to the maker. It looks like it would be versatile enough to keep in a toolbox, a tacklebox, or in your pocket to open mail.
I hope that all these answers help you. If you need other, more specific information, please ask, though I doubt that there is much more information available out there.

::welcome:: to AAPK DcT! ::handshake:: I've had a copy of your knife for as far back as I can recall and I'm currently 70 yrs. young, and as you can see in the pictures the rubber inserts are long gone, it didn't have a pocket-clip when I got it, and it's in rough shape, but it continues to and always has been a great user for just abut anything you can come up with. A few years ago I got the mini version used from a buddy, and although they're different knives they're close enough for me to consider them as father and son. I don't have a picture of the mini when closed cuz at some point I decided my big fat fingers really didn't need to be struggling to open such a tiny knife so I tightened the pivot down tight. There's an eBay seller called "eprague" who currently has similar knives in his store and he appropriately calls them "The Stubby" should you wish to view or buy more. On the larger model there's a front tang stamp reading "STAINLESS/ROSTREI", and on the rear tang "Striker Elite". On the mini the stamp reads "Stainless/Taiwan" and that's it. No matter how you abuse your knife, you will still have it many years from now unless of course you lose it! 8)
