I believe it was made in the 1980's.

I was going to say '70s. Looks like it was made by Boker. Around 1960 Henckels quit making its own pocketknives. Olbertz (sp?) and Boker were among the companies that made pocketknives for Henckels after that.

Thanks for the help on trying to put an age on this knife I have a 4 tree boker congress from the 50s and 60s
that has identical bolsters its hard to find much on the henckels knives what would be a fair value for the knife

That Henckels is beautiful, AWESOME stag
I feel it would sell for around $120-$135 on the Bay.

EDIT: I enlarged the pictures and it has been sharpened and has a couple spots so
probably $95-$115
