This old thread started by member Ko41 contains some information on your Model 6080 knives:

Your knife is pictured among the 1980 Sportsman series which in reply #33 member bk43 wrote were made in S&W's Houlton ME factory. In reply #19 posted in 2006 Ko41 wrote your knives were worth $40 to $65. I doubt that they are worth any more today.
In the decades since your knife was made S&W built a reputation as a marketer of inexpensive knives. Most were sub-contracted out to Taylor Cutlery and /or imported from China. That did not help the value of the knives that they made themselves.
Very recently S&W Holding Corporation bought Taylor Cutlery and other outdoor gear manufacturers and to emphasize their more diversified holdings omitted S&W from their name.
I hope this helps a little and welcome to the forum.
