Hi Philip.

I really like your collection , Skip! Very unique way to sate the hunger! I've done the same thing with vintage Sabre Japan barlows... One of these days I'll get them all together and take some pictures..

39 so far that you have shown, 3 more to fill that folder. Interesting collection and every time I see one for sale on the Ebay I'm reminded of you.

Thank you Philip. Except for maybe two or three of these knives,
all were obtained on EBay.

Thank you Tom.

Today I've added another PASTOR ALEMAN (German Shepherd), single blade, "007" lock back pocket knife to the zoo. Unlike my other "007" knife, this one still has the "007" clearly marked on the handle. It has the German Shepherd profile on the tang stamp, so that qualifies it for zoo residency. This knife "brand" is part of the Imperial & Colonial venture in Mexico story/connection. It measures 5 5/8" closed and 10" with the blade open. I cleaned it, took some pictures and here it is.

***** TRIVIA *****
Not this particular knife, but the same style "007 flipper knife" has a morbid place in rock n' roll history. In October 1978, evidently it was a similar "007" style knife that killed Nancy Spungen, girlfriend of Sid Vicious. Sid was a member of the punk music group, the Sex Pistols. Sid supposedly bought the knife on 42nd Street in N.Y.C. He denied killing her, he OD'd before the investigation ended.

Cool knife and interesting bit of history, Skip!!.

Thank you Ryan.

Today this pocket knife becomes the latest resident of the zoo. 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. It measures 3 7/8" closed, not including the bail. This knife "brand" is part of the Imperial and Colonial, Mexico story/connection. It didn't require any cleaning. I took some pictures and here it is.

Good looking new zoo resident Skip!

Nice addition to the Zoo Skip! Congrats Buddy!

Do you know what state Kingston knives were made in? I always find that an interesting Info.
