Made in Italy around the 1960s. Called a transitional knife due to the period it was made and a few things that differ it from older and new models. As to value, it is always hard to say but a rough one would be $200-250.

They were made to stab, not cut.

Just a few other item...It has a horn handle and flat or standard blade. It maybe be a false edge but hard to tell from pictures.

Interesting knife...small ears, red dot safety, and really pretty horn.
