Couple of great old knives here but I especially like that fish knife (since I collect Camillus) and with the etch still in place - nice.

Here is a nice old Robeson Mastercraft.

Master blade is etched and the pen blade tang is marked "Pat. App. For", liners are coined.

On the master blade, the bronze bearing fell out :x

The bone handles are beautiful :) The pen blade still has some of the factory clear coating on it :o

Hey D,

Got that rope knife today. Some clown buffed the blade, but other than that, it's solid as rock.

I have never had a Miller Brothers knife. That one looks older than the hills, hope you can get those screws loose.

They're pretty hard to come by as MILLER BROS has most of captured already.

I'm not sure exactly when these were made, but I figure around the turn of the 20th Century give or take 10 years.

Don't think I'm gonna try taking the screws loose. ;)
