I've been invited to join a friend this week (if the good weather and my back hold up) to graft some new cider apple varieties onto some very old orchard stock on his farm where he's trying to resurrect an old orchard. In preparation, I totin' this pair of Miller Brothers grafting knives (1872-1926) today. They are extremely sharp! I passed a thumb in the shadow of one and it immediately raised a red bead of blood that lasted a good while.

From old growth comes new, we can hope.

In any event, they make great cigar nippers

Great pictures !


I'm going with these two from Robeson made in their last 20 or so years (1940-63.) :)

Nice pair !

Thanks a lot Ron, it's always a treat to see your Humphrey's Radiant Lambsfoot, and it pairs beautifully with that Northfield Barlow :) :thumbsup:

Thank you kindly, JJ. Love the lighting and composition. Of course it doesn’t hurt when a pair of beautiful Robesons are the subjects.


Always cool to see a nice Rodgers posted
Thank you kindly.

Thank you Harvey, you've pushed me into carrying my #44 again today :) Great pairing there :thumbsup:
Yep that’s the one. Perfect to pair up with your Hartshead.

Thank you Jack! I’ve told myself that I need to carry my Humphreys more so I can get some enjoyment out of it. After all, I ain’t getting any younger! ;) :D

Both knives are tremendous. :cool::thumbsup:
Thank you for those kind words John! :) :thumbsup:
