A collection of Smalls

[Stich2442]

The first five are souvenirs, my parents would bring me something back from their travels when I was young. The Kabar peanut my first flea market find, the next is a Husky kh2? Only other markings on it is USA, the Case 6201 is my first Case got it probably around 8 years old, didn't get another Case until this past Christmas, mostly imperials when I was younger, next is a Camco 571, don't know where I got that one?, Schrade 808 small stockman was my second flea market score, my Case peanut next, and the small fixed blade I would take to the beach and use it to open mussels tie on a sting and catch crabs.

Very nice collection. You already know I'm fond of that Schrade small stockman. I really like the Camco 571!

Cool collection. At first I thought some of them were normal sized, then I saw the Peanut. Really like that Ka Bar Peanut and that Schrade Stockman.

Very cool 'little' collection, Stich.:thumbup:

There's always been something intriguing to me about the little guys. Do they have a good edge on them to use if you get the urge?

Very cool Pete. I'm with Art;I did not really get how small some of them were until I saw the peanut.

Thanks fellas, and yes Jackknife they are all in working order except the small fixed blade. The middle six see the pocket, but it's the two peanuts and the small Schrade stockman that get the most time. The Case peanut turned six months on Sunday and has been in the pocket and used everyday, the Kabar joins the Case and goes fishing sometimes and has done some surgery on a few perch and crappies, but does not compare to the Case peanut, the Case feels more solid in the hand. The Schrade small stockman is the only small knife I've found that could give the Case peanut a run for its money, all three blades great snap and great lock up.
My first Case the 6201 is from 1980, when you were able to walk into a hardware store as a kid and drool at the large display case, I don't know why I picked out that little guy at age 8, maybe it was the bail? which is now missing, I have thought about sending it back to Case to see if they could tighten up the main blade it has some slight play and fit it with a new bail.
Doug my Schrade is your fault , after I bought it and was researching it, your Craftsman was made by Schrade, so they are basically the same, just slightly different scales.
Thanks for checking out my collection of smalls.

P.S. my Holy Grail is a old Case peanut with brown bone long pulls and swedges. It took me two years at the flea market to find a fine TL-29 so I'll be patient.
