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.

Here are a couple more Miller Bros which I had previously never shown. Each measures 3 1/2 " closed, and each has that rich looking MB bone.

Catching up and learning a lot on this thread. Thanks to all who have posted. ::handshake::

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.

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.

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.
