This latest addition to the zoo arrived yesterday. Another Imperial "Deer Head" pocket knife. No cleaning was necessary. I took some 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!

That's a nice l👀king knife Reverand. ::tu:: For $5, you can't go wrong. Thank you for posting it.

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).

This is my latest acquisition for the zoo, an Imperial, 2 blade, "longhorn steer" pocket knife. When it arrives, I'll give it the once over, take some pictures and post them in the appropriate location(s).

I picked this up today, the latest addition to the zoo. Not my usual type of "Deer Head", but I am more than pleased with it. I wouldn't be wrong saying that it's in mint condition. The only tang stamp says ROSTFREI (I know what it means). I do not care what the country of origin is. I took some pictures, here they are.

I just obtained this "unbranded", 2 blade, "Deer Head" pocket knife. I believe it to be either a KINGSTON or an ULSTER brand pocket knife. No matter, it's another great looking acquisition for the zoo. I'll give it the once over when I receive it, although it looks like it is in fantastic condition. I'll take some pictures and post them in the appropriate location(s).

This morning my mailbox produced this knife. Another Imperial, 2 blade, "Longhorn Steer" pocket knife. It will fit in the zoo nicely. It received a mild cleaning. I took some pictures and here they are.
