Golden Dragon

Ok I'm going to show my ignorance here regarding these type of knives.

I have a "Golden Dragon" that I picked up several years ago. It's 11" overall with a 5" blade. It has the Logo Golden Dragon etched into the blade and on the tang it has "Taylor/Seto" and "Surgical/Japan". The blade is a bayonet style and the handles are very heavy solid brass. If anyone can tell me a little more about it and if it's even worth anything as a collectors item I'd appreciate it.

It is a collecters item, it is a balisong produced in Japan during the 80's bali trend. I am sure tonyccw knows something about this knife.

Thanks for the info guys.

It's in mint condition with the original cardboard box it came in. Do you know what it is worth today?

i have a g994 model golden dragon. the blade looks like the one in the link above but the handles have fluted (lines) for grip not smooth like the one above, i bought it in 1989 for $40, was my edc work knife for years, good thick well made knife, the handles are a lil loose and it needs a good sharpening other that that it held up pretty well for all there years.....
