It's a single blade, 4 tools, "deer head" handle, scouting/camping style pocket knife. This one has a slightly different style than my other, similar knives. This will fit in very nicely in the zoo. Due to the lack of variety of pictures, I can't tell what condition it is actually in. From what I can see, it looks like it's in pretty good condition. When I receive it, I'll check it out. Pictures will be taken and posted in the appropriate location(s).

Very nice and unique looking for sure. A great addition.

It's another PASTOR ALEMAN (German Shepherd), 2 blade with bottle opener/cap lifter, pocket knife. It does have the dog head profile on the tang stamp, so it qualifies for zoo residency. This knife "brand" is part of the Imperial and Colonial, Mexico story/connection. It looks like it could use a minor cleaning. I'll check it out when I receive it. Pictures will be taken and posted.

I need my eyes checked, along with my reading skills.

I just re-read this. You said "This Knife" but for some reason my electrons sparked and my eyes thought it was two separate knives. Very cool. Also noticed the Domino are 7 / 11. Great find.

It would be better known as a 'shell puller'.
12 and 16 gauge seemingly the most common variant, though 20 ga is seen occasionally .

I just acquired these two future zoo occupants for best offer. Two Imperial, fixed blade, "Moose Head" knives. Both have leather sheaths and one has a fish scaler. Both will be warmly welcomed into the zoo. They both look like they're in EXCELLENT condition and won't need to be cleaned. When they arrive, they will get the once over. I'll take some pictures and post them in the appropriate location(s). Here they are.

Well I'll be dipped!! You just taught this old dog a new trick. I wonder if they made any for European countries in 24 or 28 ga? Thanks for posting that info.

To give a quote from the movie Sandlot....."Ya Killing me Smalls!"

Very nice additions. You keep adding to the zoo, eventually you gonna have to build more cages.

Again, very nice additions to the zoo.

The zoo can always expand.

The latest resident of the zoo arrived this morning. It's another PASTOR ALEMAN (German Shepherd), 2 blade with bottle opener/cap lifter, pocket knife. It does have the dog head profile on the tang stamp, so it qualifies for zoo residency. This knife "brand" is part of the Imperial and Colonial, Mexico story/connection. I gave the blades a bit of a cleaning, but left the handles alone. I didn't want to risk messing with the graphics. Here it is.

The zoo's latest resident has just been acquired. It is a 2 blade, "Deer Head" pocket knife. Per the seller, I can't make out the tang stamp, it is made in Japan. It looks like it's in good condition. When it arrives, I'll check it out. Pictures will be taken and posted in the appropriate location(s).

Thank you Smitty. It looks like it's in pretty decent shape.

Today, the zoo welcomes it's latest residents. The first five pictures, another CAMILLUS 72, 3 blade, "Ducks" etched main blade, "whittler" pocket knife. The last three pictures, two more Imperial, "Moose Head", fixed blade knives with sheaths. None of the knives required any cleaning. I took some pictures and here they are.

Obtained for a low best offer, this knife will now be my latest addition to the zoo. It's another Imperial, 2 blade, "Deer Head" pocket knife. Actually, it looks more like 1 blade and 1 file. Whatever the case, this knife needs help. When it arrives, I'll do what I can with it. I'll take some pictures and post them in the appropriate location(s).

I obtained this "unbranded" knife tonight. It's a single blade, 4 tools, "deer head" handle, scouting/camping style pocket knife. This will be a nice addition to the zoo. From what I can see, it looks like it's in pretty good condition. When I receive it, I'll check it out. Pictures will be taken and posted in the appropriate location(s).

Cool looking knife. What is the second line of the tang stamp, I can't quite make it out? Can't wait to see when you get it!!

The second line of the tang stamp says INOXYDABLE.

This morning, I would like to welcome the latest resident of the zoo. An "unbranded" (ROSTFREI), single blade, 6 tool, "Deer Head" pocket knife. It has both a 12 gauge and a 16 gauge, shotgun shell puller. It needed no cleaning, I just wiped the blades and tools with a cloth. I took some pictures and here it is.
