She usually just looks at my newest knife with what my dad would describe as the mom face.(lips seem to dissapear while the eyes squint) when i got the peanut she wanted to hold it and said it was "pretty". Maybe when i order mine ill pick up a second for her [emoji106]

Uh-oh, when they say a knife is "pretty" you know it's gone end up in their purse. I know every time I get one that Karen takes a shine to, it's time go buy a duplicate. I guess the good thing is, knives are cheaper than jewelry. And more useful. :D
 
Yessir! Id rather a woman who steals my knife on occasion than one who is afraid of em. I just wish shed stop cutting herself....[emoji30]

I posted this in another forum and figured it was well suited for this thread. I hope to become a member of the Peanut cult after I get it.

For the last several days, I've been reading about each of these (the Peanut and Toothpick). Being totally undecided on which one to try, I did what any highly-addicted gadget guy would do. I purchased them both. I won't have them until the end of next week, but thought I'd ask if anyone else has either and wanted to comment.

Both have the ribbed Chestnut scales, with the CV blade. I wanted the SS blade, but that version only came with smooth Chestnut scales.

I just got the notification from USPS that my Peanut and Toothpick were delivered. Can't wait until I get home.
 
Boyfriend afraid of knives? What is that?

Nascar, I have a hate love relationship with delivery notifications. I can't get anything done, and start doing the happy dance. Coworkers want to know what I'm excited about...

I dunno man. Hes never been around them. I moved to the heart of bergen county after being raised in sussex county, right near the border of pennsylvania. Everyones a sheep down here
 
Well, the peanut shines in those kinds of areas. People don't get upset, and they can't really tell if you used it, unless they're hovering over your shoulder or paying attention to what you're doing. I've gone to the mall on the west side of Baltimore at work with friends, and seen older men using small pocketknives to cut up their food from the food court, or for their kids/grand kids. Not all of them, but a few to notice it. The older men don't get a second glance, if it was younger kids they'd probably call half the local PD. Meanwhile the Japanese, Korean and Italian eateries are using gigantic kitchen knives for meal prep and no one gives them a second glance.

One of the greatest attributes of the peanut is anonymity.

:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

This is where the peanut comes into it's own; Stealth Cutting!

It's small enough that you can actually shield most of it in your hand, and passerby's don't even see the knife. If they do, it's such a quick glance that they may not even realize you are using a knife. Living in and around Washington D.C. most of my life, stealth knife use has become habit. A peanut can be taken from pocket, pen blade opened and cupped in hand, cut done, and returned to pocket in the middle of a crowded food court with nobody seeing it. If the blades are CV with a patina killing any shine, even better.

Peanut, the knife that goes unnoticed.

I'll be travelling to the DC area (Chantilly/Reston area) at the end of the month to visit my son for about a week and a half. The yellow Peanut will definitely be there with me along with my usual Barlow. :thumbup:

Well, my knives arrived. Fit, finish and build quality is outstanding. That being said, I don't think they're for me. Nothing against the knives or the company at all. I just think it came down to me not being a "traditional knife" sort of guy.

I have my Vic Executive that I've been EDCing since I can remember, so I'll stick with that for now. No sense in fixing something that's not broken, right?

Looks wise, I prefer the Toothpick. The way it curves in such a small package makes it a standout to me. I do agree that the blade is extremely thin, however, I think it would be fine doing what I require in an EDC blade. Others have commented that the small blade on the Peanut to be a nail breaker, but I don't find that to be the case on this unit.

I'm going to fondle them over the weekend, before sending them back on Monday. I do want to thank everyone for their input and comments. I really do appreciate it.

Give it a chance, carry it awhile and see if it doesn't grow on you... If not it'll sell real quick here on the Exchange. The Peanut has an endearing quality that transcends all knife disciplines. :D

OH MAN!!!!!!:mad:

If you coulda been week ago, we'd have had a get together and I could have shown ya some good spots around the city. Rocklands BBQ on Wisconsin ave., a great seafood restaurant over at the Bel Haven sailing marina. But this time next week we'll be heading down I 81 in a Big yella Penske truck.

Oh well, once we're in Texas, we'll be making the I 10 trip out to California on a regular basis. Maybe then?

Darn! Bad timing it is... It would have been an honor to get a tour of your stomping grounds there! Let me know when you're out this way next time. We'll figure something out. What part of Texas?

Have a safe trip on your move, I think you'll like Texas it's a great state. :)
 
Going be in Georgetown, just north of Austin and Round Rock. Stasying with family for a bit while we look at houses and settle.

This past June when we were there at sister in law Diane's place, and we were going about house looking and shopping, I saw a fair share of small auto's and revolvers being carried. Guy in front of me at the HEB grocery stores had a little Ruger LC9 under the shirt tail that rode up when he pulled out his wallet to pay at the register, and walking along the path at the river there was a guy fishing that had some little J frame S&W in a high ride holster on the right hip. So I think a decent size pocket knife is not going to raise any eyebrows. But since I'm still going to be living a town life style, the peanut should still take care of business as much as a retired senior citizen fisherman needs. I have to leave room in the pockets for the RONCO pocket defibrillator in case of vapor lock. :D
 
Lots of good BBQ in Texas to try out your nut on Carl. The wife and I need to take a trip back to Austin.... and Waco for the Rusty Star.
 
Get ready for some BBQ and Tex-Mex, Carl! We will have to have us a peanuts and margaritas get together. :D
