Cult of the peanut , members

Man, some of these knives are awesome! I gave away my only Peanut about a year ago, and I wish I could get another Nut for carrying around, but being in college keeps the money tight. Maybe someday, I could rejoin the Cult, but until then, I must resign myself to my fate...

Real nice peanuts showing up here lately. Like this one, really caught my eye. You gotta be happy with that Snipe 1.
 
I have been carrying a Peanut in my watch pocket for some time ( see post #2387 for my most recent ) but today a Case Swayback Jack arrived in the mail and has won me over, it being just a bit bigger than a "nut" and easier to open with my arthriticky fingers. I would post comparison picture but my trusty old Dell laptop finally died on me and the replacement Acer with Windows 10 will not let me post photos the same as the Dell with Windows 7 , so i shall have to wait until my next door neighbour has the time to show me how. I shall continue to carry my peanut wrapped in my pocket handkerchief to keep up my membership of the cult and anyhoo there are times when nothing but a peanut will do.
 
Just picked this up over the weekend. Smooth orange synthetic and stainless. The walk and talk is extremely good, and the back springs sit flush in both the open, and closed positions. No visible gaps when held up to a light, and the fit and finish is perfect. Pretty pleased with this one.

For all you cult members, is there a peanut with a wharnie or sheepsfoot main? Or does that disqualify it as a peanut? i'll have to look for a broken tip peanut sometime if they arent made, and regrind it.

I've seen a few with secondary blades that had a sheepsfoot/coping style, at flea markets. They looked factory, not an after market job. The only one I saw with a sheepsfoot main blade was one that was obviously broken. Project peanuts are the best, unless the flea market booth owner has them priced more than a brand new peanut.
 
Gentlemen, may I petition for admission to your illustrious precincts?

CV Chestnut 'nut here, which I find myself grabbing about half the time now because it does everything I need it to do, and does it well. I think the CV steel is more stainless than GEC's 1095. I don't typically use my knife for food, but I've cut a lot of other stuff with it over the past month, and it hasn't shown as much as a shadow of patina, yet.

I ordered it online, as the only one I could find locally was ugly brown delrin, and got lucky I think. Fit and finish on this guy are perfect, covers match exactly, and for less than $40 I consider it an absolute steal.

I do believe that's the best looking chestnut bone Peanut I've ever seen! You definitely scored a FINE one here. Carry that one with pride. :thumbup:

Any peanut is enough for admittance to The Cult. But that one is gorgeous enough to get you ushered in the door and a drink put in your hand and a good seat in the drawing room!:thumbup::thumb up:

I don't know how I escaped being a member of the cult all these years, but I'm in now. Thanks to Carl, Grand High Muckba of The Cult, (retired)
Thank you Carl.


 
Ya know, Bob, I coon fingered and chicken eyed that knife enough while it was in my possession that I may go back down to the tractor supply and get me one!:thumbup:
:D
 
The ironic part is that I went for so many years without ever having owning a peanut and within a couple of days, I now have two. Someone else just sent me a Boker Peanut. It's slightly larger than the Case but not by much. It's also a somewhat reversed Peanut as the blade pivots are set on the opposite ends of the Case version.



 
Pretty pair of knives, Bob!:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

You have to go a very long way to beat those little Boker knives. One of my favorite pocket knives was the old Boker 240 I had in rosewood. Carbon steel pen type with a blade at each end, single spring. Boker does great Rosewood.
 
I just spoke to my local Case dealer about ordering a Chestnut CV Nut and they told me that they cannot order anything aside from Yellow Delrin, Brown Delrin and Amber Jigged Bone...what the heck? I thought a dealer could order anything lol. Oh well...still on the hunt.

Great new pair of Nuts there Bob lol :cool:

Welcome Bob !! Funny the way Peanuts have a way of showing up.

This is the new one I got for under $10 (including shipping)
