Well, not really versus, more like a visual comparison:) I love my Peanut (especially this damascus), but sometimes I want that "just a little bit more", and this baby coke bottle completely fit the bill. I'd been on the look out for one in stag with a red shield, but this one was too good to pass up, besides, I'm planning on painting in the shield with a little red enamel:p (wish me luck). F&F on the coke bottle are really good, one of the best I've got from Case, so I'm really pleased :thumbup: It's got me hankerin' for one of the new GEC cokes now!

Thanks for the great comparison photos SonnyJim! I like the cokebottle pattern. Do you find it a little harder to find the nailnick on the Cokebottle? It looks like the Cokebottle gives you a little more handle to grab onto and maybe a little more blade? 1/16"??
 
Nice snag on that out-of-current-production pattern, and those stag handles look great! They make a great pair together.
 
I like the peanut better myself. I think it fits the hand better and i like the clip blade better. Both are cool who doesnt like peanuts and coke:D
 
Hello gents,
Doug, the secondary is indeed a pen.
WFC, the peanut might be about as small as I want to go, but ya never know...; )
Grant, Thanks! The nail nick is actually a good deal deeper and longer than the 'nut, so no real issues there. Looking at the coke bottle after your comment though, I did notice that the swell center IS place right under the nail nick, never been a problem though. The coke bottle definitely gives you more overall. It's an honest 3" closed while my peanut is 2 13/16", shy of the advertised 2 7/8". Blade on the CB is 2 1/8', the nut is 2 15/16". Also, looking at the spines, the Coke Bottle has thicker blades/springs by about 1/32".
JC & Simmons, Yup! I love the pair together!:)
 
Nice stag Jim!

When I went looking for a Case small coke bottle I figured what the heck and go for the Coke coke bottle :D

The Hen and Rooster small Coke Bottles are ok too, same size as the Case with matchstriker pulls. I hadn't seen them before last week so I picked up one in emerald green bone. The fit and finish are better than expected for the price. It doesn't compare with the old H&R's but nice in its own way.

I can't wait for the NF Pemberton!
