Links above give you an idea,that your knife was sold through a wholesale cutlery company in Florida__ Gesco Cutlery that had the trademark rights to the name__some from Japan others from Ireland that I saw___ looks like a single blade jack pattern similar to Case's__Slim Farmer Knife ??___good luck

Here's some completed listings for Gesco knives on ebay. The value looks to be minimal

The Gesco trademark is held by:
Gesco Cutlery Company, Inc.
2516 East Holly Point Road
Orange Park, Fl 32073 US
No phone provided. I suggest you send knife photos directly to Gesco and ask for whatever information you are seeking. It looks like they simply used several companies both in Japan and Ireland to produce knives with their stamp.
Good luck.
This is basically the same information provided by Big Monk.

Aboard knivenoob!
A bit of info you may find helpful in the future:
Folding knives are always measured with the blade closed. The closed measurement never changes.
The blade may be broken or sharpened down thereby changing the length of the knife when open as well as the blade length.
But the closed length (the length of the frame) never changes under normal use.
