This is a Remington boot shaped knife,the heel of the boot is used asa cap lifter.As near as I can tell this was an early advertising knife from the 1920s,you don't find many in brass,there are reproductions on the market also but if you know what to look for,they're smaller.

Fake fantasy piece from the 70's. Not worth as much as 5 bucks or more. Sorry.
5 bucks or less, sorry mistake.
