How right you are Tom. I actually am out of stalls for my latest acquisitions. I need to buy more storage cases anyway, for them and some other knives. ::tu::

It's a bit of a stretch for this thread but I bought this Millennium Hen & Rooster swell-centered whittler with bone handles today. :D My first H&R and my first whittler. I'm a bit excited to get my hands on it. :mrgreen:
These are the sellers pictures. I'll post some more when I get it. ::tu::

This knife should be officially joining the zoo in a few days. This is MY first NON deer, steer or moose head knife that I've posted here. It's a Camillus 72, 3 blade (DUCKS etched on main blade), swelled center, black bone handles, "whittler" pocket knife. I now have two thirds of the Camillus 72, "black bone handles" trio. It appears to be in fantastic shape and won't need any cleaning at all. When I receive it, pictures will be taken and posted in the appropriate location(s).

Today the zoo welcomes this Camillus 72, 3 blade (ducks etched on the main blade), swelled center, black bone handles, "whittler" pocket knife. It is in near mint condition and required no cleaning at all. I took some pictures and here they are.

Beautiful knives everyone!! Here is an Imperial deer head and a Case XX U.S.A. Kodiak..I bought both at a community yard sale in Seville, Ohio. They have it every year and it is a nice little town and everybody sets up and there’s lots of good finds no matter what you collect. It’s worth the trip (we drive 3 1/2 hours every year to go) If you’re not too far away.

Today the zoo gains these two new (to me) arrivals. Both are Imperial "Deer Head" pocket knives.
A special THANK YOU goes out to AAPK member Stanwade for selling me one of them (the 2 blade knife). ::handshake::
Neither required any special treatment. I took pictures and here they are.

Where are you guys finding those Imperials? In all the flea markets and antique stores I've been in around here in Texas and on my road trips I have never seen one of those. I guess I need to just look online if I really want one.

Sadly enough, I bought this camping knife just so that I could post it here. (Plus, it was only $5!)
F94553AB-EDE8-4484-AB3A-2E49A8E1937A.jpeg
The only mark is "Rostfrei", so at first I thought that it might be Getman-made, but it feels so light and cheaply made that it may be of Asian origin, made for the European market. It has plastic scales pressed onto thin stainless liners - it be a "tourist" knife.
I really know nothing about the knife, I am just guessing. But, it is a cute little knife for the money!

Last night I bought this unbranded, "deer head", "camping" style, multi-blade/tool pocket knife. It's not my usual Imperial "animal head" style knife, but it will make a welcomed addition to the zoo. There's nothing special about it. The looks and the price said "buy me", so I did. When I receive it, it'll get the once over. It looks to be in fantastic condition. I'll take some pictures and post them in the appropriate location(s).
