For me it looks old.
Because it looks old I simply would ask the question what it is and how old it seems to be to the biggest museum that has a fitting collection.
London, Paris, Berlin for example.
Your chance to get a fast and free answer is pretty high.
The value could tell you Sotheby's. The current sell price you know after an international auction. Such stuff goes up and down.
If there is a Japanese multi millionaire who wants it, the price is different to what I would pay you because I need a sharp kitchen knife.
No, better, you need several Japanese and American multimillionaires...
Some stuff develops incredible prices, other stuff doesn't.
Byzantinic coins for example they throw behind you, if they aren't gold or silver.
This knife was a present from my wife in 1963. She bought it in a Brighton antique shop. It is a beautiful object but I know very little about it. Knowing the range of expertise here, I would welcome any information. It is not for sale, but an estimate of its value would be of interest.
Apologies for the poor photo quality.
