Help Identifying?

Sorry for bugging you guys, but I need help identifying this pocketknife. I got it along with a whole bunch of others from my grandfather, and I can't figure out what brand it is, or if it's even worth anything.
It's very solidly constructed with 10 functions. It doesn't have any other markings other than "Stainless China" on one blade, and this emblem on the outside. Can anybody recognize what brand this is? Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Welcome Holly!
Your knife looks like a clone of a "Swiss Army" type knife. Chinese knives are produced very inexpensively, most for well under $5.00. It is not likely anyone can pin it down to a "Manufacturer" in China, as that part of their economy is usually controlled by the Army, and they aren't necessarily branded like we are used to seeing here in the states.

Thanks for your help!
Is there a market out there for Swiss Army copycats? Does anybody know of anyone who collects them? It doesn't seem to me like it's worth me holding onto.

Hi Holly. Don't know if anyone collects those, but you never know. A knife is still a knife. I have some that a collector would not want, but they have proven very useful for chores around the house, fishing etc.

Hi Holly, and welcome!
As for Swiss Army knife copy cats, well I would say not much of a market at all. If you check out E-Bay, and do a search for TSA or Confiscated Knives, you can see you can buy knives by the pound! And majority of these are Knock off swiss army knifes.
Best bet, give it away as a gift!
