Looks like either a 124 Frontiersman or a model 122 Nemo.

Leather sheath= Frontiersman
Plastic sheath= Nemo

You can read about the Nemo here- https://www.buckknives.com/blog/buck-hi ... ntiersman/

I don't see many without a sheath which is both good and odd. Still there are a few and they are fetching over $100+.
Did your sheath look like the Nemo above? Although the same knife, knowing if it was a 122 vs 124 originally might be good too.

This differs from what I originally wanted to write "no, pretty worthless, can I have it?"

You still have a nice knife. The original Nemo sheath costs as much or more than the knife itself, but I see custom leather sheaths for it at a descent price if you want a complete, although not all original set.
$100 for the knife alone seems to be on the low end too.

The 122 Nemo and the 124 Frontiersman were the exact same knife. The sheath is what made it a Nemo. But it still has value without the sheath.

One Frontiersman 124 (same model as the Nemo) sold this year at Arizona Customs for $395. A Nemo sold this year on Ebay for $450. Two 124 Frontiersman knives from the same period (same model as the Nemo) sold this year for $450 and $600. However all of these prices are with usable sheaths.

The catalog listing I posted was from 1968.
