All About Pocket Knives

This is in auction for one of the knives from Johnnie Fain's collection. Johnnie was a Moderator on AAPK until his death in March 2009. We are auctioning off some more knives and books to help Johnnie’s widow, Annettee.

The following item is up for auction: HENRY SEARS & SON

MAKER: Henry Sears & Son
PATTERN: Harness Jack
CLOSED LENGTH: 3-3/8”
BOLSTERS: nickel silver
SHIELD: nickel silver
HANDLES: horn
BLADES: Clip & punch blades
LINERS: brass
TANG STAMPS: (partly missing) –HEMRY SEARS (in arch)/& SON/1865/MADE IN U.S.A.
CONDITION: fair
DAMAGE: Nicks & dings, a cut on the mark side handle, considerable blade loss.
BLADE WEAR: Near 40% on main blade. About ¼” short also.
SNAP: Pretty good, but punch is a bit weak on closing
AGE: Goins dates this tang stamp as 1897-1959.

MADE IN: U.S.A.

ADDITIONAL INFO: It is what it is, a mostly used up, but good quality old knife. I don’t doubt that you could sharpen it and use it until there was no blade left. They don’t make them like this any more.

Exceptionally nice horn handles on the old knife.
