Yesterday, this pocket knife became the most recent resident in the zoo. It was shipped from Morocco. So this pocket knife, in addition to the two shipped from Bulgaria, the one shipped from Poland (all previously posted) and of course, the Germany connection, truly makes this an international zoo. It is a "ROSTFREI - INOXYDABLE - M.I.GERMANY" (made in), 2 blade, 4 tool, "Deer Head" pocket knife. It is also tang stamped "INOX" on the secondary blade. It is missing the bail. It did not need any cleaning. I took some pictures of it and here it is.

This morning, this pocket knife became the latest resident in the zoo. It is a "ROSTFREI" (I know what it means), single blade, 4 tools, "Deer Head" pocket knife. It is stamped ROSTFREI. It needed no cleaning at all. I took some pictures and here it is.

Another fine addition to the Zoo Skip. ::tu:: ::tu:: This one seems like they were trying to be a little more ornate at the bare end of the handle.

Today, this pocket knife becomes the most recent resident in the zoo. This one was shipped from Germany. It is a "ROSTFREI - INOXYDABLE - M.I.GERMANY" (made in), 1 blade, 4 tool, "Deer Head" pocket knife. It came with it's original packaging (opened). It's strange that there is absolutely NO description of the item anywhere on the packaging and no price tag. The pocket knife can be easily removed from and returned to it's packaging without damaging the packaging any further. It did not need any cleaning. I took some pictures and here they are. The last picture is of another zoo resident that I obtained back on March 9 (it's posted). It was shipped from Bulgaria. It too has VERY plain packaging, but it has a price tag.

Very nice Skip. It's no April Fool for sure. I remember the other one you posted from Bulgaria, similar packaging.

This afternoon, the zoo welcomes it's newest resident. It's an Imperial, 2 blade, "Deer Head" pocket knife. It needed cleaning. I took some pictures and here it is.

This is one of the knives I received in the POS exchange from KLJ77. It fits in with my collection of camper/scout type knives and also fits into this group with the deer on the handle material. It is German made and 3 5/8" OAL closed.

This afternoon, this pocket knife became the latest resident at the zoo. It is the second resident received from Morocco. It is a "GERMANY", 1 blade, 4 tool, "Deer Head" pocket knife. It is tang stamped "GERMANY" on both sides of the main blade. It appears that it's missing the bail, that doesn't concern me. It did need some cleaning. I took some pictures and here it is.
