My first Case peanut. Such a prize...half stops, autumn bone, great F&F, and sharp as I need after about 10 strokes on the Lansky ceramics stix.

Very nice peanut!

Trapper Mike, that is a beautiful peanut. I cannot tail in my picture but is it black synthetic with stainless blades? How does the stainless work for you?

I am a huge fan of the Peanut. My latest has been the 3 blade Scouts. Such awesome little pieces! Managed to snag a backup for my stag...2 is 1! Lol!

Seeing this thread pop up reminded me that I received a new Peanut from the auction site, and it came to me gritty as all hell! I’ve been working the blades with some mineral oil, but they still have quite a way to go before I’m satisfied!

It is the brown synthetic and he stainless works pretty good. I can get it scalpel sharp pretty easy.

Wow. That is fantastic. Looks very slicey

I am a fan of very thin blade stock on small knives, even I can put a razors edge on them. It’s probably silly but I find my case peanut a little thick and have been carrying my 2 blade Congress for the last couple years because I like it and I can get it so sharp. I prefer a peanut pattern.

I am a fan of peanuts - I have carried a red pocketworn in CV VERY regularly for a few years (since 2017)... but I still don't know if I like it as much as a small pen (I know, blasphemy). Something about the clip on the pen just holds an edge over the peanut. I can't explain what does exactly, but I just know it

If I had to guess, maybe it is that the pen blade has a bit more belly and is more blunt in the tip(?). Also, the blade spine is in line with the backspring more... the peanut cants in just enough that I think about it occasionally .

Really just splitting hairs at this point : I do love using both of these patterns and feel that either can handle the bulk my daily tasks during the work week.

100% agree

Both are nice looking knives Rubythroat.
How did you get that patina on the secondary blade of the peanut? Looks really cool.

Thanks! On another thread, I saw a post where Knives&Lint did this on one of their secondary pens, and I liked it so much that I gave it a try. I mixed mustard and hotsauce together and painted on random polka-dots using a toothpick. After 45 mins, I wiped off the dots with a wet cloth, dried, and overlayed a second coat of dots randomly by repeating the process. It was really fun to do, and turned out surprisingly well
