Re: Miller Bros. 1863-1926
Catching up and learning a lot on this thread. Thanks to all who have posted.
My only Miller Bros. She's spent now but I bet she was a looker back in the day. Half-stops and she still has plenty of walk and talk, 3 3/4" closed.

Pocket, fixed, machete, axe, it's all good!

Re: Miller Bros. 1863-1926
I’m enjoying this thread and the classy knives posted so far. Here’s one I posted previously in the All Scout Knives thread but it belongs here also. Likely made between 1911 (after NYK introduced the “official” scout pattern and it’s subsequent rise in popularity) and the demise of Miller Brothers around 1926.

Re: Miller Bros. 1863-1926
Great to see all the recent pictures of beautiful Miller Bros knives here in the thread.
This is a Miller Bros USA Cattle pattern 3 5/8" closed. I have handled cattle knives from many makers over the years. This one from Miller Bros is as good as they come.

Re: Miller Bros. 1863-1926
Picked up this Miller Brothers 3 3/4" jack this week, badly rusted but full blades, did some cleaning and I think it looks great. The main is long and has a great match strike pull. I don't recall seeing a tang stamp that just says Miller Bro's Cutlery before.
Re: Miller Bros. 1863-1926
Nice, John, that is a success story. I like that old Western box too, from my "neck of the woods".

Nice knife John.You did a good job of of cleaning it up, without the use of a buffer.

Re: Miller Bros. 1863-1926
Thanks for the comments guys, appreciated. Roger, I wanted to get the rust off without losing the character that comes with age, it would not look right all shined up in my opinion.
