Cult of the peanut , members

Me too. Classicist, scientist, woodsman, marksman, wrestler, fencer, musician; he could break your wineglass with his voice like Enrico Caruso, and he could drop flying crows with his .22 until you got tired of seeing it or he ran out of crows. And, like Jonathan Richman's Pablo Picasso, "he could walk down any street and girls could not resist his stare".

But here's a knife: my watch-pocket carry, since I don't have a nice pen with a lanyard bail, and the little ones are hard for me to fish out without, and I do like this one:

Great tune! And nice knife!
 
I sent it in because the first ¼" of the blade (right at the tip) was hitting the back spring every time I closed the knife. It was unacceptable because of all the parts of that small blade i use, the tip gets the most. besides the fact that there isn't much blade there to begin with! lol. They replaced the knife with a new one, and someone must have been pretty particular with it, because this one is FLAWLESS. The color os good, no spaces, blades are pretty close to centered, and not a bit of it hitting the back spring, even with a forceful close. The jigging is even smoothed a bit, which is something I actually love. Nice crags with smooth tops. Love it. I'll post a pic as soon as I have some decent light here!


I am glad you are happy with the new Peanut. It's always nice to see pictures. If your new nut is as pretty as your last one, then you scored !!!!
 
I seem to find myself quite enjoying my RR peanut. I think I may consider getting a Case, though not for a while. I really like the orange handles, so I was thinking perhaps an orange Case, but then I saw the sycamore wood... Hm... I reckon I'll take my time deciding.
 
I am usually a spyderco man, I do have a case soddie that I love, but my girlfriend is starting to convert me. She just gifted me a little peanut she got at the flea market. I was wondering, since I see y'all as the front most authority on these bad boys, could give me any info on this. So far I know it's a peanut, an imperial, & a high carbon blade

Any info would be much appreciated. Sorry I couldn't get a better picture of the blade stamp.
 
Bountiful bump, hamsco! :thumbup:
What make/model is your middle knife?

Rapid River Knifeworks 2008.... I have not seen another one. I'm guessing that it was a SFO. Maybe from Queen.
It's a beauty.
 
after two and a half years of carrying the same knife almost exclusively, a case 6383. This week after visiting my parents and seeing my old man's peanut(that I gifted him 4or 5 years ago) riding everyday in his watch pocket ready for action. I decided to put my own peanut, a nice case xx USA 1977 delrin handle, in my pocket for a ride.
Hahaha poor me, not remembering the peanut's revengeful character, I was cleaning it and all of a sudden chack!!! THE BITE.
I you have had your peanut for long enough you know what I'm talking about... Confidently caressing it and when you close it your ring finger is where it shouldn't be and the tip of the clip blade bites the side of your finger.

Ooh! Mighty peanut I publicly apologise for keeping you so long in a box and solemnly promise getting you for a ride more often.
;);)
 
Peanut is doing well. I was having a porkchop for lunch yesterday and didnt have a steak knife...

Thanks, hamsco! :thumbup: I haven't heard of that before either; time for a little research, I guess. :p

Well, I was prepared to say that after looking thru all 100 plus pages I had an yet undiscovered peanut. But, I misjudged the peanut love here. I've got a red plastic handled Case peanut, ss blades, with the case badge containing an American flag motiif. But, lo and behold somewhere around page 80ish, there it is! Mine isn't alone in the world of nuts... I've had this knife for probably 15 plus years and never carried it until discovering this thread. I'm wanting to see how a CV model works. My SS is really sharp, if the CV is even better, whoa mama!!! I sense a purchase coming on.

I believe that Rapid River Knife Works was in Michigan near the Escanaba area. I wasn't aware that they made folders. I believe that they started out with fixed blade hunters and bird and trout style knives of which I owned a few but have long since sold. Hope this helps.
 
A question for the cultists: Does a Peanut have to have a clip blade? Or is this just a peanut-sized Trapper?

 
I have read this thread religiously but have never posted in it. My only two Peanuts a Case CV in jigged Chestnut Bone and a Rough Rider in jigged Brown Bone.
