Cult of the peanut , members

Got this in from a GAW, one of the two I picked, a Case Peanut in CV, it was missing the shield so I carved/whittle a small section of walnut and glued it in place,

before a void, I took a small Dremel round end cutter and went around the bottom edge so that when I glued it in, the glue would fill to the sides as well, giving a better anchor for the glue to stay in place.

the close up looks rougher than it does in real life, if I had some lighter wood I would have used that, or some piece of ivory but, nothing at hand.

ps here is a link to the new Give Away that I just started

Gary nice score from that GAW, I think a lot of us had a wishful eye on that one. Nice little fix you did with the missing shield.

Thanks, while it is a simple pill shape, it was still a time consuming thing to hand sand it down to the size to get it to fit properly, but worth the effort I think.

TX, the badge shield just goes with the yella, a perfect match!

I bought another old timer peanut so I could add one to my carry options. I cleaned it up a little and now it just needs a fresh edge. The factory edges are never that sharp, whether they've been used or not. Good little 'nut.

Indeed worth the effort, a personal and unique touch.

Here's 1960-1970 Camillus peanut. I wonder if they were ever made with natural scales.

I have one with brown pocket worn derlin

but have seen them with jigged bone scales - even some reportedly to be Rogers Bone

They also made them for SEARS with wood scales and brass bolsters - pretty plain looking though

I carry different knives from time to time but my peanuts will always have a home in my pocket.

I'd never realized just how swoopy the peanut profile really is until I saw that one. Really elegant!
