Both are nice Doglegg!

Thanks MB

A jigged bone rope knife........

MB, nice old knife. I sure hate it that those with the marlin spike have caught my eye.

Thanks Doglegg

Here's a group shot of some old Miller's I have been able to corral.

Nothing like a group of Miller Bros Rope knives - Nice Dimitri ... All with that nice bone and even the brass lanyard ring - very cool ... Did you see the thread awhile back on buying duplicates?? ...

That's a good roundup MB!

That's quite a collection of Millers, Dimitri, and the WH Morley to boot

Dimitri, those all look to be the same length.

I thought Miller Bros made two different sizes.

My two cents worth, Miller Brothers and a B.Brammar.

That’s more than 2 cents Bill - those are beauties ...

Hard enough to find one or two nice examples let alone a great group like that. Neat picture!!!

A great collection you have there, Dimitri.

Bill, your old knives are really special.

Well, I got this recently. It is in very good condition. I don't understand the etch.

Joe,good thing you are a carpenter, you are going to have to add on to have more space for knives.

Awesome bone on those Miller Bros Dimitri and Bill. The stag one belongs on the gnarly thread Bill.

I've only got this 3 3/4" ebony Wostenholm

Hey Joe that is a nice Colonial riggers knife you have.

The etch on the blade is the National Stock Number (NSN) assigned to that knife by the Department of Defense. Any military member would fill out a order form using that NSN to request that knife from the Supply warehouse. That number is probably discontinued by now. Steve B. USAF retired.

Thank you, Lyle.

Thank you, Steve.
That is very interesting information.

Nice Knife Joe - given the etch obviously not used very much ... and good info Steve ...

Lyle - nice old IXL ... like the ebony handles on that one!!!

I really like that old Wostenholm!

I found a really decent example of this English rope knife with the folding Marlin spike.

If you have ever handled one of these you know what a nail breaker it is to get the blades open!

Miller Bros. I love everything about that knife. ___Dave

Thank you Dave!

Great old rope knife Dimitri ...
