Me too Roger but the blade surface has suffered some from age, corrosion and light sandpaper abuse, still there are areas of original blade finish.

Thank you all for the nice comments ::tu:: ::tu::

Don't have many Miller Bros. knives, just don't see that many in my area. Missed a big roper a while back. Went to the ATM for some cash and the rat sold it while I was gone !! Anyway, this 3-1/2", smooth bone Coke bottle is one of my favorites. Almost looks like ivory.
Anybody estimate it's age ? J.O'.

Beautiful knife. I have a large congress that Is missing 2 blade and a handle. I am trying to acquire the parts for a rebuild. The quality of the old knife is unmatched.

Thank you, Lloyd, I really appreciate that. I have had a rough few months but slowly getting back to normal. I have been going thru my knives and will prob post a few more in the near future that have never been shown.
