Miller Bros Penknife

Post by steve99f »

I picked up this Miller Bros pen knife. I think it's a sleeveboard pattern and about 3.25 inches closed. Both blades walk and talk well, really snap. A solid half stop too. I'd like to know more about this if possible and also wonder if the handles are correct. Thanks.

Thank you Miller Bros. The wood seemed newer than the rest of the knife. Good to know it came from the factory that way.

It`s not wood, the handles are wood grained celluloid, a form of plastic.
