After a bit of a drought, I just acquired another Imperial "Deer Head" pocket knife for the zoo. It should arrive sometime this week. I'll clean it up when I receive it and I'll post MY pictures in the appropriate location(s). These pictures are the seller's.

This Imperial, "Longhorn Steer" pocket knife will hopefully be joining the zoo soon. It has a few issues. But when I receive it, I'll give it a cleaning and post MY pictures in the appropriate location(s). This picture is the seller's.

VERY nice collection. ::tu:: I obtained my first one in July 2019. I now have 18 and 2 more coming in the mail. I also have 4 of the "moose head" fixed blade knives. The hunt is half the fun!

Here is my latest addition to the zoo, another Imperial "longhorn steer head." Definitely not the best example that I've acquired, but good enough for my purposes.

I didn't know about the auction but I do have that same knife. Schrade made two version of the Texas Longhorn - the other one is a scrim that says 'TEXAS LONGHORN' next to a steer.

Here's the second knife in a pic I just lifted from ebay.

My most recent acquisition and soon to be joining the zoo, is this Imperial, "Longhorn Steer" pocket knife. It is my first "Longhorn Steer" in this particular pattern. When I receive it, I'll check it out, take some pictures and post them in the appropriate location(s).

Thanks! Here's one more recent acquisition I hadn't scanned yet. I like those Longhorns. Make me think of Texas.

Schrade LB7 with (real) scrimshaw of a Bighorn Sheep on ivory micarta. This is just as I received it. Likely tomorrow, I will be polishing off the marks on the bolsters etc.
