Now, I have seen one other knife like this that I remember but it did not have the box and accessories like this one. I am pretty sure the last one was advertised as a Dive knife by Phrobis and I find it interesting that Phrobis calls this a "Modular All-Purpose Field Knife"
Does anybody have more information on this knife? Anybody have a guess what such a knife is worth?
I am sure
this is the knife that they are refering to on EBAY.
Following is one picture from the auction that shows one of these knives disassembled. Photo used with permission of seller of knife...
EDIT: Knife Above sold for $102.50
In reply to the original message as posted above I got this answer from Porterkids a renowned Knife Collector and expert on these knives...

The knife pictured in the previous post is a Phrobis Modular Field Knife or MFK. The knife came with three different changeable crossguards. The plastic pommel/tang assembly would be removed and you could change the guard. This was not a very durable knife, mainly due to the plastic tang. You often see these knives on ebay erroneously described as SEAL knives. They are not. The SEALs tried out, and rejected, a similar knife manufactured by Phrobis known as the Combat Utility Knife, or CUK. The CUK also had a short threaded tang but utilized a steel tang rod. The steel pommel was retained by a socket head cap screw. Both knives used the same, M9A1 style scabbard with the attached swiveling belt loop.
The MFK knives I've seen sell recently have gone in the $150-175 range. The CUKs seem to be selling in the $200-300 range.
