I agree with Rig.

Great old family knife, take care of it and treasure it. ::tu::

Miller Bros made great stuff and it looks like it served grand dad and your uncle well.

Thanks for all the reply's to his question's about the old Miller folding hunter, I have my Grandfather's Cat., (king of the woods folding hunter) The knife is in great shape and it was purchased in the 1920's, I see them see on ebay for lots of money and have thought about selling it, you guys are right, it's a family knife and it's going back in the safe. Thanks

You've made a great choice, ::nod:: once you get rid of something like that it's near impossible to get back. :(

I applaud your choice to keep it as well.
I've got this old Case that belonged to my great grandfather.

He carried it in S America while prospecting for oil for Standard Oil back in 1905-1910.

It's worth a pretty good chunk of change, but it ain't for sale. :wink:

Awesome knives guys!

My Great Grandfather left me his Freemason knife that my Great Grandmother was supposed to give me when she passed but I never got the knife.
I held it once when I was about 6 years old and I think that knife was what got me started to love knives.

Just my thoughts out loud...
