I'll get a few close ups of the rescue when I get home tonight, I've been thinking about trying to find someone to maybe replace one of the blades so that I could carry it occassionly.

Case chestnut bone, wooden handled BEAR, rough rider with white smooth bone, case yellow cv, and a Taylor brand old timer... The are what peanuts I have.... Not carrying any though.. My itty bitty knife is a buck 379....I have been edcing it with a cv yellow Sodbuster jr. For over a year now.. Might switch to the yellow cv nut soon though

Holy roasted peanut, Peter!:eek: That's a beautiful 'nut!:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

You just gained entrance to the inner-inner circle of the cult! I've never seen pearl that vivid before. If it's like that in a photo, I can't imagine what it's like in person. Wow. Love the bolsters too.

Nice Christy Knife Carl, they are still a family owned business I believe.

BwPerdue it's a old Christy knife, the blades are replaceable as well as retractable.

They are still around, I Just did a search, this is the last paragraph in their history.
THE HANDIEST POCKET KNIFE EVER DESIGNED
Today, Fremont, OH is known as “The Cutlery Capital of the World, and the 53-operation production line of the Christy Sliding Blade Pocket knife is operated and produced by machinist Hal R. Christy, son of Earl B. Christy. This 4th generation company continues to provide “the handiest pocket knife ever designed”.
 
Wow, Pete, I didn know that. I had heard that Earl had passed away and that they had closed the doors of the place. Nice to know that an old family knife company is still kicking in the face of adversity in the market place. His son Hal must have stepped up to the plate. Good for him. I just may buy a few to support an old company name and hand them out.

Carl.

Carl - Glad you like it:D The scales are actually opal. Done by Michael Hoover of "Art in Stone". The blades are Devin Thomas damascus. It was a little gem and a pleasure to handle.

It was not mine, but a commission for me to engrave the bolsters. I had never "cut" the bolsters on a Case peanut before, so I used the one in this picture to practice on. The other one was made by Mike Alsdorf and is a sweet little peanut:

I've come across your work somewhere before, very nice, if I recall correctly you also did a Schrade cigar whittler?
Nice talent you have.

Re-Pete
 
Wow, battered but not beaten, bowed but not defeated. The amazing peanut is still able to serve. Put an edge on it and use it once in a while. It's like a maimed old soldier that still wants to serve. :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

It deserves a place of honor in the grand hall of the cult.

Carl.
 
I actually slipped in into my left front pocket and it went to work with me today along with my yella nut. It's one of those items that you wish could talk, because I know it has some interesting stories to tell!

If knives could talk! Is the pen blade totally gone?

That is a neat find!

All that is left of the pen blade is the tang! The scales are cracked and extremely worn, the jigging is almost gone. I did however sharpen what is left of the clip blade and it took a quick yet jagged edge ( jagged from all of the nicks put in it by the previous owner), so I think I'll carry it for a couple of weeks in honor of its battle worn past.

That's a really cool quote you have there. What writing is it from? I used to carry a case xx that my dads have me in my watch pocket.
