Cult of the peanut , members

Cult Brother ranchman is right. If you look at chapter 8, page 145, paragraph 2, in The Cult bylaws, it is clearly states that a Sear's 4-way keychain screw driver is highly recommended for carry to accompany the peanut in day to day carry. If a Sear's 4-way is not avail be, a P-38 is acceptable until a 4-way is obtained. Appeals may be made to the current sitting Grand High Muckba of The Cult. Either one is acceptably reto.[emoji106]
Welcome aboard Aaron! ]
Thanks guys! Looks like according to the bylaws, I've still got some requirements to take care of. I'll get to work on that!
Fall is coming too fast here in Northern Utah. But the leaves match the Delrin!

You talking about the screwdriver and can opener? I don't have those either, but I have 4 Peanuts and carry one of them fairly often (in my pocket right now, in fact). I guess I must be an adjunct member or something. You can sit in the second class seats with me when we have the monthly lodge meetings.
jc57, I heard ALL the seats are first class here. Besides, Carl did say, "highly recommended," not mandatory. In light of that, for now I'll keep my SAK Tinker close by as well. In fact, for Saturday house chores and honey-do's, the SAK is always in the pocket with the Peanut.

Thanks my wife been really good about getting me Knifes for my Birthday or Christmas .
SAK Alox Cadet + Case Peanut was my daily "go to" combo for a few months.
That's a great photo, jc! :thumbup:
It shows how much blade a peanut packs in a small package.

Carl - yes, they do make the most out of the handle length. Yesterday I had to do some work where I needed to cut open a large carton, then open six smaller inner boxes, and some inner anti-static bags.
I was carrying a Case Stockman, Case Peanut, and a medium-sized modern folder. Of course I wasn't cutting up the boxes, just the packing tape that sealed them. I used two of the Stockman blades for that - one for the tape which made the blade kind of sticky and another for slitting open the bags. But I could have done everything needed with just the little pen blade on the Peanut.
I carried three knives because I'm a knife nut and recently I haven't been able to carry any on me (workplace change) so I was in withdrawal, but realistically I could take care of most thing I need to do in a typical day with just the Peanut.
But if I were realistic and practical I would own three pocket knives and not be here.

I've got a Peanut and a Trappernut already on the way, but I may need to make another order.
I wound up at that great Case site that's better than Case's actual site, and stumbled across this (apparently new) beauty:
Holy smokes! CHESTNUT CHECKERED BONE.

I have a question to ask of the cult... I was doing some searching last night, and I stumbled upon an article about soldiers in WW2. The author said that the average height of a soldier from the US in WW2 was only 5'6". Seeing the popularity of diminutive pocket knives like the Peanut, small penknives, the Christy, etc. among that generation, do you think it could have been related to their physical size? As a member of the "millennial generation", I grew up in a world where the average male height in 5'10", and I myself am about 6'1". (I do have a slight frame with small hands, so a Peanut or small pen-knife fits me well).
Any thoughts or opinions?

Ben, that's very thought provoking!
My dad, who was the peanut carrying man in my life that was a big influence, was a 'compact guy. Maybe 5' 7" standing up strait. I think the people of that era were all shorter than these days. By the time I was in my tees in high school, my dad's coats were too small for me. Each generation is taller I think. My first son is a six foot two guy, my daughter is 5' 11" and my youngest son Matt is about six two or so. I ask my better half what she fed them and she tells me Coco Puffs and marshmallows. All my kids like a bit bigger knife than I do, and the same with guns. Matt kids me about my mouse butcher knife, and I can remember kidding my own dad about his peanut. Going fishing one day when I had grown up and home from the army, we were setting up on the river bank and he took out his knife to cut something, and I asked him if he was panning on gutting some minnows. This was in my young and un-enlightened days.
My son John likes the 91mm SAK's with four or five layers. Carries one all the time. My son Matt like the 93mm alox Victorinox pioneer and 301 Buck stockman's. Jess like the little classic other keyring, but there's a 91mm SAK in her purse, so that may skew things a bit. But maybe the personal size of a person has something to do with it. My old friend Danny is 6' 4", and prefers his old Buck 307 or Case stockman of the same size. Then here I am at 5' 9" if I stand up very strait, and I'm carrying my Remington peanut and a Victorinox classic most of the time. I like the Vic tinker, but it's a 84mm 'small' tinker. Another of my favorite knives is the little Boker 240, which is about 3 1/8 inches.
It's an interesting idea that the persons size will be an influence on the pocket knife they carry. I wonder what knife Bogy would have carried?

I'm 6'2 and carry a Vic small tinker, too, so I don't think it's a size thing. For me, it's always been a "what fits best in my pocket" kind of thing. I dislike rough edges and it looking like I'm toting a dinner fork in my front pants pocket.

The Case chestnut checkered bone is very similar to one of my favorite covers from Rough Rider, "gunstock checked bone".

Imho it more likely had to do with carrying a small light, compact cutting tool than the average size of an American. I could be wrong but the WW2 generation were very practical people.
