That's a classic beauty, Ike.

Sweet old knife Ike.

Awesome knife Ike ... Very cool jumbo jack with a single blade and classic Miller Bros all the way around ...

[Duffer]

Excellent Jumbo

That is how a knife should look. Simple and functional. I like it.

Beautiful Miller Bros.
Elegant and simple ...

Great find Ike, beautiful knife

Thanks for all your comments, so nice to read sentiments that match mine. A knife like this embodies everything I like about the hobby. Finely crafted by one of the great names in the business, simple, yet ruggedly handsome. The "Miller look" is an added facet, I like screws!. I hope someone still treasures it in another 100 years.

That Miller Bros is just about the perfect jack.
For what more could one ask?

Here is a unique Shapleigh jack I posted in the Shapleigh Hardware thread but I also believe it belongs in this thread too. I believe it was made by Schrade. It is 3 & 1/2 inches.

That old Jack has it all. Can opener and presto lite key! And the simple elegance they epitomize.

Lloyd, that is a really nice, unique knife. I missed your original post in the Shapleigh forum and went back and looked at it. I am a Shapleigh fan, hadn't seen one of those before,

Really NICE knife Lloyd ... Very cool pattern and as you note very unique!! I can imagine that pattern could be quite a useful EDC ..

[FRJ]

Very nice, Lloyd.

Lovely old Miller Bros, Ike! That knife has a lot going for it.
Great find on that unique Shapleigh, Lloyd!

Very nice pair, Joe. I am curious about what type of wood? I don't really notice any reddish tones in the picture, but is it Cocobola?

[FRJ]

Thank you, Ike.
Yes, I think it could be Cocobola.

Nothing like a couple of nice Holleys Joe ....Hard not to like a Holley ...

[FRJ]

Thank you, Lee.

Sorry for poor pic, but here's a couple of my favorites- Robeson and Remington

2 sweet bare heads LanG with great looking bone ... That Robeson bone is really nice with that old jigging - reminds me of peach seed jigging from Schrade. Based on the estimated date range of the tang stamp from the understanding of Tom Kalcevic and Charlie Noyes it is indeed an oldie - 1896-1899...

Thank you, Lee. They're a testament to the quality of work put into the knives of yesterday. Carried, used, and abused for decades, and still work just as good as the day they were made!
