Deer and Elk and Steer, Oh My! What Do You Have?

I'm putting this new arrival to the zoo in it's own cage tonight. It's an ULSTER 55D, 3 blade, "deer head" pocket knife.
It needed no cleaning. Click a picture to ENLARGE.

I bought this knife yesterday. It's another Imperial(?) "deer head" knife for the zoo. This one, besides the patent numbers on the tang, just says USA. The pictures are the seller's. When I receive it, I'll "try" to post MY pictures. But I haven't been able to upload MY pictures since the server switch.

Fresh out of the mailbox - this cattle knife is the only Kameo Karved example of this pattern I've seen.

Ahhhhhh, so your the one who got it. The seller turned down my "best offer." Good for you Jason.

I had a feeling I wasn't the only one looking at it, lol! Being a 'new' pattern, I figured it was best to just hit that Buy It Now button right quick.

I was stupid. I should have bought it for $20. I offered $15, the seller countered with $18 and I declined. STUPID!

New to the zoo, this one arrived today. Didn't have to clean it at all.

Joining the zoo sometime next week, is this U.S.A. stamped, "deer head" pocket knife. It looks like the blades are going to need some cleaning. When I receive it and after I give it the once over, I'll post MY pictures in the appropriate location(s). These pictures are the seller's.

We've all been there before. The worst (for me) is the occasional knife that I just simply forget to bid on and then remember after the fact. At least you took a shot at this one.

That USA stamped Kameo you posted above might be the first time I've noticed a hollow grind on one of these. I just checked and all of mine have a flat grind. I like that blade - I'll be keeping an eye out for one.

The latest addition to the zoo. The "before" pictures are 2 posts above this posting. These are MY pictures after a gentle cleaning.

This evening I purchased this specimen, another Ulster "deer head", possibly a 55D pattern and will be adding it to the zoo sometime next week. It looks like there is a third line on the tang stamp. I'll know for sure when I examine it. The other 55D, for comparison, is at the top of this page. As usual, I'll give it the once over and post MY pictures. It appears to be in pretty nice condition. These pictures are the seller's.

I bought this, yet another, Imperial "Longhorn Steer Head" pocket knife today. I'll be adding it to the zoo, hopefully in a few days. I'll give it the once over when I receive it. It looks like the blades could use some cleaning. I'll post MY pictures in the appropriate location(s). These pictures are the seller's.

This morning I purchased this Imperial "Moose Head" fixed blade knife with sheath. I bought this one because I don't have this style or pattern of fixed blade knife with this particular tang stamp. If I start collecting these for the color of the handles, I'll be in big trouble. I'll give it the once over when I receive it. The blade looks good, but it may get a very slight cleaning. It appears that the strap on the sheath is missing, but I didn't buy it for the sheath. I'll post MY pictures in the appropriate location(s). These pictures are the seller's.

My latest addition to the zoo arrived yesterday. An Ulster 55D "Deer Head" pocket knife. It is my second 55D, it has a different style main blade and a much different tang stamp than the other one (posted at the top of this page). It was in great condition and required no cleaning at all. The pictures are mine.

[New_Windsor_NY]

These two arrived yesterday. Each received a gentle cleaning and each is ready to join the zoo. Another Imperial "Longhorn Steer Head" pocket knife and another Imperial "Moose Head" fixed blade knife, with sheath. The "Moose Head" fixed blade is my fourth "Moose Head", but it is my first with this particular tang stamp on this particular blade type. The other one has the same tang stamp, but it has a fish scaler on the spine of the blade. You can see it in the last post on page 8. These pictures are mine. Click on a picture to ENLARGE.

I bought this pocket knife today, another Imperial "Deer Head." A soon to be, much welcomed, new addition to the zoo. It appears to be in Near Mint to Mint condition. When I receive it, I will give it the once over. I will post my pictures in the appropriate location(s). These pictures are the seller's.

The best looking one I have seen yet. I had a feeling that one would find its way to you. Nicely done

Thank you Jason. It was a little high on the $$ scale, but I wanted it.

I received this Imperial "Deer Head" pocket knife yesterday. I didn't have to do any cleaning at all, it is flawless. A most welcome addition to the zoo. These pictures are mine.

Of all I have seen you post, this one is my favorit. Cool serrated blade!

Hi Tom. I'll answer your question from the "Mail Call" in this thread. You wanted to see the herd, you'll see the herd.
The first 4 or top 4 pictures are of the folding herd. The 5th picture is of the fixed herd and ALL 4 are different (besides the color of the handles). The last or very bottom picture is of the knives with serrated blades (wonda edges). Click on a picture to ENLARGE.

I find it amazing how cool they look lined up like that! Totally different feeling than if you look at one or two of them in my opinion. The red one & the blue ones just jump right out at you. Must be the brighter colors. Nice herd Skip! Very pleased to see them again.
