Nice rope knife, Monte, and very nice old jack.

Thanks Lloyd and Joe, I am always looking for old knives in any condition. But I am trying to hold off on the ones that are too beat up.

Just back from the Oregon Knife Show or OKCA show in Eugene. Had a wonderful time! On seller setup day (members only) I was walking the aisles scanning tables and asking sellers (who by the way are a very patient and friendly bunch) if they had any vintage Miller Brothers knives. Mind you this was as they were setting up there tables and busy. Most said no but one gentlemen said he thought he did. Said he got it recently at a knife show back east somewhere. He then proceeded to dive into his plastic boxes and knife rolls all the while my anticipation growing He emerged after a few minutes with this folding knife. As I took it from his hand I was hoping it would prove to be a desirable specimen. A Miller Brothers swell center split back Whittler pattern folder. It is 3 & 3/8 inches closed. It has a primary spear blade with long pull and two smaller blades--a long pull pen and a cuticle/nail file. All blades are in good condition although sharpened (with the exception of the file) and the blades have some minor blade loss but not bad. It has superb walk and talk from all blades and none have the slightest hint of any lateral blade movement or wobble. The two smaller blades have half stops the larger primary does not. All transitions are buttery smooth and even the screws are just perfectly set with only the very slightest hint or feel when rubbing fingers over handles. Brass liners. Handles look like Ivory to me but could be celluloid but I do not think so. Has taken on the yellow color of aged Ivory. This folder exhibits remarkable craftsmanship and I am very pleased to add it to my collection. Thanks for loooking, Lloyd

I don't know much about Miller Bros knives. But I know I like that little whittler.

Nice catch.

Great knife Lloyd, I think I was looking at the same knife at the Dalton show. Though I could be wrong. If it's the same knife then it is ivory. Was the seller's name Bob and was from Florida?

That one would have came home with me but I was in an auto accident on the way to the show and didnt know what I would have to do to get back home. I had to tie my hood down.

A swell center, sleeveboard whittler by Miller Bros. That's a real beauty, Lloyd.
And balloon bolsters? I'm not sure.

Beauty of a knife Lloyd ... Looks like the big "I" to me but the reflection off the handle makes it hard to determine for sure... but my bet is yes .... Nice knife for sure....

[Duffer]

Thanks Joe and LongBlade for the nice comments After studying the handles under various magnifications and various light sources I believe it is the Big I Thanks again guys, Lloyd

A couple of folding hunters manufactured by Miller Bros, the top knife is ebony handled, stamped EDW K TRYON C0, PHILADELPHIA, PA.

Found this one last week in Havre. It's got a lot of off road miles. 3.5" closed. The small blade says Miller Bros., the main blade says Rector & Wilhelmy. R&W was a hardware supplier in Nebraska 1876-1902.

Great pattern!!

Here is a sweet little vintage sleeve board Miller Brothers (circa 1920-1926)) Pearl lobster folder with four tools to include a pair of scissors, manicure blade, small spear/pen blade and larger spear blade. It is 2.75 inches closed and has nice sunken joints. The build quality and precision fit of the various components is near perfection. Everything fits together with such exactness and works so smoothly it is just amazing and very satisfying to use!
