Quality?

[Elm]

I wonder if someone can help me.
I guess most survival knifes (with this kind of design) from the 80's are not quality knifes that you can actually use in field. If I get hold of this 184 model will it actually serve me as a serious camping through life if I don't directly mistreat it and try to keep it in good shape? I really dig the design of it.

If so do you have information how to keep a knife like this in good health?

Thanks,
LM
