Today the zoo welcomes it's newest resident. This USA (Imperial), 2 blade, "Deer Head" pocket knife. It needed cleaning and it received a cleaning. I took some pictures and here it is.

Today, the zoo welcomes it's two latest residents. An Imperial, "Moose Head" fixed blade knife and a Colonial, "Moose Head" fixed blade knife. The Colonial came with the original sheath. Neither of the knives required any cleaning. I took some pictures and here they are.

This morning I'm adding this knife to the zoo. It's a PASTOR ALEMAN (German Shepherd), single blade, pocket knife. It has the dog head profile on the tang stamp. It also says and has an illustration of a dragon on the handles, so it qualifies for zoo residency. It measures 5 3/8" closed and 9 1/2" open. This knife "brand" is part of the Imperial and Colonial, Mexico story/connection. I gave the blade a bit of a cleaning, but left the handles alone. I didn't want to risk ruining the graphics. I took some pictures and here is the knife.

Very nice Skip. But I believe the amount of Elk you have acquired now qualify as a herd. ::tu::

Today, these three pocket knives became the latest residents of the zoo. First up is a "ROSTFREI", single blade, 4 tool, "Deer Head" pocket knife. It needed no cleaning. Next is a "MADE IN GERMANY", single blade, 4 tool, "Moose Head" pocket knife. It needed no cleaning. Last is a "MADE IN GERMANY", single blade, 4 tool, "Deer Head" pocket knife. It needed a cleaning and it got one. I took pictures of them and here they are.

***** A VERY VERY SPECIAL THANK YOU goes out to Steve B., aka bladebuddy, for his thoughtfulness and generosity in giving me the knife that's in the first 3 pictures. THANK YOU Steve. :D ::tu:: ::handshake:: *****

After adding the three most recent residents to the zoo, I figured it was time for a group portrait. This is just a portrait of the zoo residents with the faux stag handles.
