I sold mine for about £260 last year, although it was the black handled one which is slightly different to yours. Hope that helps

Thanks I didn't realise they were going for that amount I was looking in an old woodlore catalogue yesterday and the black micarta ones were £95 these were £165 and the Woodlore knife was £195

They easily go for £300. Seems the WS have become collectors items.

Thanks JD I didn't realise that they were worth that

Yours looks a nice example too. Certainly worth £300 - £350 on a bad day.

Thanks JD it hasn't had much use in the last year or so, just a coat of camilia oil now and then
