I know the seller offers complete satisfaction and a money back satisfaction guarantee, etc, but.........

Well Willie,
I can't tell much about the knife, but I would assume Miller Brothers would have better fit on their scales.

It looked like a rehandle job to me even before I noticed the infamous red background.

Pure junk. Compare it to the Case Tested fake stag stockman that was posted recently. Same basic knife, same basic fake.

As many knives as that guy has sold over the years, I can't help but be surprised by the number of fakes that are going through his store.
Caveat Emptor I guess.

Not even remotely close to an original
As Steve said, Fake Junk
Another thing, I can count on one hand how many original MB knives I have seen with genuine Stag handles...............and still have 4 fingers left over

Miller Bro's,
What is wrong with the last Miller that you posted in the link. I know that most Miller Bro. knives have screws in the handles. Is that the reason you say this one is fake?

Re: I have to wonder about this one.
Everything, the entire knife is fake. Take a close look at the tang stamps, they are the same as the first knife posted.knivesandmore wrote:What is wrong with the last Miller that you posted in the link.
Just looking at the knife with the blades closed, never mind what the tangs are stamped, says fake to me, the handle material, bolsters, etc.
Actually more turn up without screws, so you can`t go by that.knivesandmore wrote: I know that most Miller Bro. knives have screws in the handles. Is that the reason you say this one is fake?

Re: I have to wonder about this one.
I see that this seller placed a LARGE advertisement in my favorite magazine.
KNIFE WORLD. it really diappoints me that 20 bidders wanted this knife.
If I knew how to stop it, I would.
I don't mind people selling redone knives at all, just don't mislead people in thinking they are original.
20 years from now, a book will be written on collectable FAKE knives.
I don't doubt there'll be a price guide too.
It really is a shame to be honest with you.
Where has honesty gone,
"NO WHERE" it hasn't ever shown up as far as I know.

Re: I have to wonder about this one.
Miller Bros.
Just wondering if you could post a couple of good pictures of a real Miller Bros. Cut. stamp so I could see the difference. I'm confused because the second knife you say is fake has a nice patina and the seller certainly isn't making any brash claims. I have bought from him before and found him to always be above board.
