Sweet walnut stag on that one.

Counterfeit or reproduction? If counterfeit, I wonder what it used to be?

Going only by the pictures, it sure is a good looking knife.

MB did Miller Bros even make a folding hunter? I don't believe I've ever seen one.

Another case of looks new because it is new.

In 40 years of collecting I have only seen two authentic Miller bro's knives handled in Stag, that ought to tell you something when you see a knife of this brand handled in stag.

The seller offers a 30 day full refund, hopefully the buyer will realize what it is and get a refund. Or they may be very happy with it as is ::shrug::

It looks $40 great, but not $400 great. ::dang::. I think Frosty bought the rights to the Miller Bros. trademark, that's why I asked the reproduction question.

Frost did buy the rights to the Miller Brothers name, but I don't think that they make a knife like that.
Here is one that I own, and the tang stamp looks completely different.

The stag on this fake Miller Bros knife does not resemble the stag used back when M.B. was making knives. It looks like the stag that is used now in 'modern' times.

Better a late than never reply by me, Reverand, thank you!
