All...
First, my apologies if I'm not posting this in the right area...but, I'm simply trying to identify it to a level where I can point the questions in the right direction...
The knife in concern is a well made barlow with a tang stamp "Miller Bros." It doesn't appear to be a vintage knife, but I lack ANY information even to determine who made the knife.
On a 'different' forum, a member (who may also be an established member here) shared with me that these may have been a run of tribute knives made by Utica. He has the Northfield version of this same line of knife. Aside from that, I have no additional information.
I have now seen a handful of tang stamp and bolster stamp variations but basically the same knife.
I'm posting some of these pictures here for reference.
Hope to find out more information if anyone has them available.
Thank you all in advance for your help!

Re: Knife identification
Not "tribute knives"...each of those is a FAKE made out of old parts from the Utica factory.

Re: Knife identification
Thank you for the insights.
The solid nature of the knives made me think they were of better known heritage.
Even if they were ‘fakes,’ was hoping to get more information from those who may be better familiar with the knife (or knives), given the enthusiastic community we are in.
Since I’m newer in the general time scale of knife collecting, thought someone else may recognize it and say, “oh, I remember those! ‘So and so’ made them for fun!”
Regardless, just keeping my ears open.
