Statue of liberty commemorative knife

By Anonymous (not verified), 6 July, 2008
Description

This is an extremely nice smaller sized knife. I'm not sure what the case of it is made out of. The blade says buck 826 u.s.a. on the base of it and on the other side it has the number 004343. It is a commemorative knife featuring a gold colored inlay of the statue of liberty and some type of coin insert with liberty on it as well. On the blade is written 1886-1986 banner style. On the housing, the one side has the statue and the opposite side contains the phrase "keep the torch lit" in a banner type gold color. The knife measures 2 3/4" closed and about 4 3/4" when opened. The blade is very nice, has kept sharp easily over the years and still really doesn't show any wear. Thanks for any help.

Re: Statue of liberty commemorative knife

I have one that my dad bought sometime in the '90s. It came with a certificate of authenticity which says the following: I do hereby certify that the medallion mounted in the handle of the 100th Anniversary Statue of Libety Buck Knife has been crafted from authentic materials from the Statue of Liberty-Ellis Island national Monument. These valuable materials are made available to you by The Statue of Liberty-Ellis Island Foundation, Inc. through their official licensee, Good Leaf Corp., under the direction of the National Park Service... In essence, it was a fund-raising effort to finance the restoration of the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. Hope that helps.
