Another nice addition to the zoo Skip. That's a good looking knife and looks to be a thick boy.

The main blade has an "Imperial (with crown) - PROV USA" tang stamp. The secondary blade has the patent numbers tang stamp. The main blade has a serrated or WONDA edge. It needed a very minor cleaning. I took some pictures and here it is.

Another fine addition to the zoo Skip. A plus finding one with the WONDA Edge in as good of shape as yours. ::tu::

It is an Imperial, single blade, three tools (can opener, cap lifter/bottle opener and an awl/punch), two tang stamps, 3 3/8" closed (not including the bail), "Deer Head", camping/scouting pattern or style pocket knife. The main blade has an "Imperial (with crown) - PROV. R.I. - USA" tang stamp. The can opener tool has the patent number tang stamp. It is in VERY GOOD condition. It needed very little cleaning. I took a few pictures and here it is.

Here's a bull to add to the menagerie from a Spanish souvenir knife. It was recently found at an estate auction. I know nothing about it other than the handle is horn, the blade and lock are tight, and the etch is deep.

Very recently, I rescued this pocket knife from the post office. It now has become the latest example to join this topic or thread, the zoo and my collection. It is a USA, two blades, two tang stamps, 3 3/8" closed, "Deer Head" handle, pocket knife. The main blade front tang stamp says "USA" and the secondary blade front tang stamp has the patent numbers.
It required a little cleaning. I took some pictures and here it is.

This afternoon, the zoo welcomes its most recent arrival. It is an Imperial, two blades, two tang stamps, 3 5/16" closed, "Longhorn Steer" handle, pocket knife. The main blade front tang stamp says "Imperial (crown) (over) PROV. R.I. (and) USA" The secondary blade front tang stamp has the patent numbers. Both blades have NO wobble. Both blades have GOOD snap. It is in VERY GOOD condition. It required minimal cleaning. I took some pictures and here it is.

This morning, my trip to the post office produced this pocket knife. It is now the latest addition to this topic or thread and to my collection. This pocket knife "brand" is part of the Imperial and Colonial, Mexico story or connection. But this specific "brand" of pocket knife does NOT make an appearance that often. It is a P.M. Atlas, two blades with a cap lifter or bottle opener, one tang stamp, 3 7/8" closed (not including the bail), horses on both of the handles, pocket knife. P.M. Atlas is stamped on the cap lifter or bottle opener part of the blade. This is my second P.M. Atlas pocket knife. My other P.M. Atlas was previously posted under this topic or thread. Both P.M. Atlas pocket knives are also posted in the "Schrade Legacy Forum" under the "Imperial Mexico" topic or thread. This pocket knife required a little cleaning. I took some pictures and here it is.

Very recently, my trip to the post office produced this pocket knife. It now becomes the most recent addition to this topic or thread and to my collection. It is a "MADE IN GERMANY", one blade, four tools (a cap lifter or bottle opener, a can opener, a punch or awl and a corkscrew), a single tang stamp, 3 1/2" closed, "Deer Head" pocket knife. If it did have a bail, it doesn't now. The main blade front tang stamp says "MADE IN (over) GERMANY." Overall, it is in GOOD condition.
It did need some cleaning. I cleaned what I could. I took some pictures and here it is.
