*CLOSED* Johnnie Fain Estate knife auction- Case Whaler

[orvet]

This is the Fifth series of the Johnnie Fain Estate knife auctions.
Johnnie was a friend of all on AAPK as well as an AAPK Moderator. Johnnie passed away unexpectedly in April of this year. I am helping Johnnie’s widow Annettee by auctioning off many knives from Johnnie’s collection. AAPK members have been most generous in helping Annettee by bidding liberally in these auctions. Any member of AAPK can bid on these knives.


This auction is for a Case Whaler.
