I have a knife marked S&W that I would like to know the value of. I know these knives are not expensive, but I am curious. The knife is signed by L. Layden (Lynda Layden) and one panel has a golfer on the fairway with a polymer, Smith&Wesson marked panel on the other side. The S&W emblem such as you see on their stocks is on the panel by the golfer. It comes in the blue box with sharpening stone and honing oil. They are all marked with S&W emblems. The blade is marked Smith & Wesson, First Production Run, U.S.A., and Smith & Wesson at the base of the blade.

the base of the blade is called a tang the markings are called tang stamps. i would guess the value of your knife to be around75.00
 
Check out the web page for Linda Layden Scrimshaw. She scrimshaws many types of items, including pocket knives. From the examples shown inn her web page, I would say she acquires plain knives, etc., from knife dealers or manufacturers and adds the designs. Very nice work. However, in the case of your knife, with the additional items in the box, it fits the style of what Taylor, and/or S&W, offered to specialty buyers for packaging in this fashion. Ed.
