Good afternoon everyone.
Like many other regulars here I have carried a variety of knives over the years. If we didn't have that addiction we wouldn't be here now would we? Anyways I caught myself over the years carrying a 1970 peanut quite frequently. I decided I wanted to try something different. I've seen other threads similar to this done before but this one will be a little bit different.
Today I picked up a brand new Case Peanut CV in Yellow Delrin. For the last 23 years I have worked full time in Law Enforcement and part time as a Paramedic. Right around 99% of my tasks at both careers can be accomplished with a smaller knife like the peanut I will call Yella Fella. For the times I may need a bigger knife I have my Hinderer with me on duty also.
What I will do is document Yella Fella's progress as I will be using him each day for the majority of tasks. It will be used at both jobs and at home for every other task I run into. He will not be "babied" or "coddled" in any way. He will be oiled and wiped down when required. There will be no deliberate abuse trying to break him such as batoning large wood, etc. He will be heavily used however.
I have posted a picture of Yella Fella on his birthday today January 27, 2017 and I will regular post in this thread updated photos and in use shots.
I really want to see what this little guy can handle. Like I said, there will be absolutely no intentional abuse but good, honest work & home use.
Here he is before any use. Indoor shot as it is snowing like crazy outside now and we are expected to get 3-3 1/2 feet of snow.
Happy Birthday Yella Fella and here we go!
