Let's see your Peanuts & their Patinas

[Stich2442]

Seems like most people around here carry a peanut everyday or casually, so thought it would be neat to see how people's patinas develop. I have two my Case Chestnut which is a little over six months old and used daily, my second is a Kabar flea market find that I picked up sometime in the middle of May.


This is also bait to get Jackknife to post some photos of his famous Peanuts:-)

Just remove the Case Stockman in your mind while watching the mighty 'nut.

Sorta like this?





My sole Peanut is stainless steel, so no patina'd peanut here. (... If only Case would reissue the amber bone CV Peanut.)

Great thread idea, however, and I look forward to everyone's pictures.

Thank you ~P. for making the photo better to the topic of the thread

Kind regards

I took this one a couple months ago, because I thought the patina of the blades and the chestnut bone of the scales compared favorably to my favorite piece of functional pottery.



I cannot take credit for the patina on the Camillus pony jack, because I got it used at the flea market. I will however take credit for rescuing it from a filthy, grimy existence in a display case (it was really nasty when I first brought it home). I took this shot the day after I found it. You can see that the blades of the Case peanut, which I had owned only about a month, still look rather new.



Here is a shot of the two as they look today.

Here is a better comparison shot, using the same slate sidewalk as a background.

Sorry I can't play. Mine is Stainless Steel

[Stich2442]

Sounds like Pertinux and Gevonovich need to do a little shopping :-)

No Barehead Peanuts?

[jacktrades_nbk]

Here is mine, hoping to take some new pics very soon..

All but two of my Peanuts are SS, Case Tru-Sharp, 420HC (Queen, Schatt), VG-10 (AG Russell). I have a yeller CV and my stag damascus, neither of which have a patina as of yet. I'm a bit fanatical about keeping them wiped down...

Having recently (and unexpectedly) added two awesome little GEC chunkas, Pertinux is now going to concentrate on the user aspect of "user with a selection."

Unless Case re-releases an amber peanut with CV.

Or a little GEC single-blade 25 with a Haycorn presents itself.

Or.

Here goes nothing!

*grumple* Stich bulied me into posting in this thread... (jk).

Here`s my yeller. Has only a faint blueish patina from some cream cheese and other non acidic foods.



And here is my now lost of faithful. I had it for 6 months, and the yellow one is nice, it`s just not the same. Miss this little guy every day.
