Your impressive collection just keeps getting increasingly impressive.

Skip, that looks a lot better in your pic's than the sellers. Very good condition.

This one will hopefully be joining the menagerie within a week. Another Imperial "steer head" pocket knife. When I receive it, I'll give it the once over and post MY pictures in the appropriate location(s). These pictures are the seller's.

My latest acquisition for the menagerie or zoo. This "moose head" fixed blade knife, no sheath, from COLONIAL.
Please excuse the shadow on the blade in the first picture.

I bought this Imperial "moose head", fixed blade, no sheath, this morning. I should receive it within the next week. For $5 and shipping, I couldn't resist. The tang stamp is different from my other Imperial "moose head" fixed blade knife. It appears to need a good cleaning. I'll give it a thorough inspection and take appropriate action. I'll post my pictures in the proper location(s). These pictures are the seller's.

I bought this knife earlier this evening. An Ulster 55D "deer head" pocket knife, which will fit nicely into my menagerie or zoo. When I receive it, I'll clean it if necessary and I will post MY pictures in the appropriate location(s). These pictures are the seller's.

Skip, I really like your new Ulster 550. It appears to be the same knife as the Ulster 58OT Old Timer - do you think so? OH

I bought this knife earlier this evening. An Ulster 550 "deer head" pocket knife...

The seller is misreading the stamp, it's a 55D - I've always assumed the 'D' was for deer. The 2 blade version is the 50D. That's one of the nicer examples I've seen lately and was close to throwing out a bid on that one myself. Nice score

You're right on target there. When the first Ulster Old Timers came out - 50OT and 58OT they were built on the 50 and 55 frames. I have wondered why it became a '58' - seems like it should have been a 55OT. Another Schrade mystery...

Thank you Jason for correcting the pattern #. The picture wasn't the best, so I couldn't really make it out. I don't like asking the seller questions as they might get suspicious and raise the price or opening bid. I will correct the pattern # in my posts. Thank you again, Skip.
P.S. FANTASTIC JOB on that Schrade in Mexico research document!! VERY WELL DONE!

Thanks for the kinds words - I spent a silly amount of time digging into something that very few people would get excited about, but I had a lot of fun and it was something that I wanted to see added to the collective knowledge.

Thursday, I added this Imperial "steer head" knife to my menagerie or zoo. It didn't need much cleaning at all.

[New_Windsor_NY]

Today's mail delivery produced these two for the zoo. Another Imperial "deer head" with serrated main blade and another Imperial "moose head" fixed blade, no sheath. I bought this particular "moose head" because it has a different tang stamp than my other one and it has no fish scaler as the spine. Click on a picture to ENLARGE.

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.

[New_Windsor_NY]

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.

[New_Windsor_NY]

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