It actually is a well made knife; blade action is smooth and crisp and zero blade play, absolutely solid in open position, blade spine & spring line up well. Feels great in hand. The person who created this knife does good work. It's a fine EDC for $30.

I think so. Pictures coming. You will see the only difference between my 'Miller Bros. & O.P. knife is the markings.

I think that I have seen these knives with a bomb shield, that may explain the shield replacement since it is obviously much closer to the shape of a Case shield than the badge shield.

Re: Build it and they will come!
Good to see you, kj. But I've seen much better knives from you! It's curious that the guy had the skill to do all that work but still did such a botch job finishing the blades on the Ebay knife. I guess he had all the tools except a knife maker's grinder... or maybe that was done by a prior owner.

Re: Build it and they will come!
Hi Jake, i hope you post here in AAPK more often. You have a lot of knife knowledge & good knives to share. How about more time here and less at that other 'place' ? or, just more posts here. It's a good & friendly place.
