Roger,
The look of the Miller Brothers two blade folding hunter is hard to beat, and the etch is icing on the cake.

Roger that physicians knife and the horn handled Ulster one are over whelming. You must have a time warp you are using. Those two are awesome. Congrats. ::tu:: ::tu::

Those are amazing Rodger. Grail knives for most collectors. The horn ulster is like seeing a ghost. Just can’t believe your eyes. Thanks for sharing them.

Just finished going all thru this thread looking at all the awesome old Miller Bros, some really nice knives here. Was a little surprised that none of the old Signal Corps knives that they made, showed up in posts, here is mine showing obvious use.

Here is a dogleg jack with a name on the shield, which I assume, refers to what was once a brand of Canadian cigarettes.

Lee, thank you. I was wondering how many more were out there or if another would surface after I posted this.

Dan, thanks for the comment. I had not heard of that brand of cigarettes either, until I researched a little after getting this knife. I never was able to find dates, but I got the impression that they were only around in the early 20th century, so, probably not around in our lifetimes.
