I prefer the STJ. Its probably my overall favorite knife.
Don't like the Peanut or the STJ feels better to you?
the only thing with the STJ is the CV patterns are limited.
For me, it's the peanut. I prefer the more-comfortable-in-pocket rounded bolsters vs. the square bolsters on the jack. And if you compare them side to side, the peanut's main blade ain't that much smaller than the jack. Both are great knives, though.

It probably has to do with the way I carry my traditional knives. I carry vertically in my back pocket beside my wallet. As such, something that is approximately the length of the wallet works well. The 3 1/2" to 3 3/4" closed length range is about ideal for that.Don't like the Peanut or the STJ feels better to you?
I choose option 3...
The Baby Butterbean.

Roughly the same size as the peanut, but feels better in my hand.
...then again, I am biased because I hate the muskrat style skinny clip blade on the stockman and peanut. I don't mind it in a wider profile like a barlow.
Butterbean is a nice little knife. Consider it.
You just made things alot more complicated throwing the Case Buttermean into the mix.![]()
