The information below may be of some help to you.
It should at least get you pointed in the right direction.
Me.....I would start with the Robert Klaas connection.

“Rare” does not necessarily mean valuable. Value is a function of supply and demand - valuable requires both. Some items are rare enough that finding comparables is difficult at best, to impossible. In such cases, if selling is the objective, it’s best to list it at auction with a low starting bid, and let the bidders determine its value. Concerned you might be “leaving money on the table”? How would you know?

I Don't know much about H&R,but I don't think that knife is very old seeing it has etched tang markings.
