I have one of these- bought it in Iceland in 1965- would like to know its value now - it has never been used and is in mint condition with sheath

That logo is a Keystone one in new condition with the box like yours sold on ebay for $273 in 2012.  Used and with out the box they bring about half that. Hope that helps! 

Thanks for your help! I thought that knife would be valued about where you said. I also have a Buffalo Skinner knife also from Solingen Germany that I also bought in Iceland in 1965 - would like to know its value as well. It too has never been used & has the original leather sheath
