Ka-Bar Knife question

Hello, I wanted to share a few pictures of a knife my father gave me and I’m curious what would be worth if I ever wanted to sell it. It’s a gold plated DogHead with the case and certificate. Something about this knife I just admire. I wouldn’t ever want to use it. Just take it out and hold my precious and look at it. If anyone knows more about it that would be great too. I know valuing can be difficult and it would be nice to know, but I’m quite content to have it. I’d like a couple of its siblings too

Worth maybe $250 on the high end. I bought a similar one and I paid $275 but I really liked it. Very well made knives in my opinion. And being a gift from your dad….priceless

Yes, there wouldn't be enough to get rid of that.

You have a very nice knife.

Have you ever considered the regret if you sold the knife your father gave you?

The dog head isn't gold plated it is solid 14K gold. The knife wasn't actually made by KA-BAR, it was made by Queen who made most of the knives for the KA-BAR Collectors Club since the KA-BAR factory was closed down by the time your sweet knife was made.
