I've carried a 12ot on and off for years and I've always considered it a peanut. Case has made singles, triples and 5 blade peanuts too. Some call the 12ot a dogleg. As far as I'm concerned, its a peanut. Or maybe both a peanut and a dogleg ;)

Have you or any others seen or even heard of an old timer 120TG pal same as any other pal knife but with green scales on it. My grandpa gave me one when I was 6 years old and still have it today I am 42 years old now.

I've never seen a green 12OT, but Schrade did do green handles on some of their knives, so I have no doubt they did a 12. Post a pic if you can.
 
There is just something about that nail nick notch in the handle of a Peanut. When in combination with the signature "nose droop" of the pivot-end bolster of a true Peanut, I find that notch to be quite eye catching, whether it be present on a Yellow Synthetic or a Jigged Delrin handled knife.

I'm finding this 1979 Jigged Delrin Peanut to be cleaning up quite nicely. The brass liners have shined up to a nice gloss, as have the scales and shield. Granted, the scales and bolsters retain a few nicks and dings from a number of years of being used, but that's all part of the mystery surrounding the life story of said knife. This little nut seemed in all-around good condition when it arrived, with one exception. Both blades walked and talked like a cadet on the parade grounds. However, when the pen was opened, the clip bound up as it opened. My eyesight isn't the best, and it took some examination to spot that the knife had been used at least once as a hammer, or been dropped, causing slight deformation of the liners at the pivot.

After a bit of work with the trusty Revlon Emery Board, and some light polishing of the internal areas of said liners, all is now good, save for the evidence of previous damage that will always be present. Oh well, that's just part of the life of the knife. I too have a few cosmetic scars from various mishaps over my lifetime. The CV blades, as well as the backsprings, retain their natural patina, even after some light scuffing with a worn out Scotch-Brite pad to remove some staining. I didn't wish to destroy the character this knife has earned over the past forty-six years. With the crud and grime I cleaned out of the bladewells, I'm guessing this was a working knife at one time.

For sure, I was hoping for a jigged bone knife when I purchased this, but an honest mistake by the seller proved that it just wasn't my time yet. But also, for sure, this Peanut looks to be turning out to be a fine little cutting companion. We will be visiting the sharpening equipment in coming days, then into the watch pocket for a spell.

Very nice rescue on an under appreciated knife. 👍🏻
 
Ref: My First Case Peach Seed Jig Old Red Bone Peanut, as listed on their web site...
Does anyone have one of these? Is the "My First Case" a series? Or is it simply offered as a Peanut?
Who knows anything about this knife title?
No matter, it's a little beauty.
Out of my price range of course, but drooling costs nothing.

Hey guys... Anybody? And I repeat:
"Who knows anything about this knife title?"
 
Thanks to April rains and a bit of sleuthing the big auction site, things are beginning to green up in west-central Illinois.

2011 Case Peanut 6220SS in unknown green colored Jigged Bone. Nice little knife, with excellent walk & talk.
This gem has been in my watch pocket since it arrived. It gets used too.

Never had a lot of interest in the Peanut as it seemed too small to be that useful. But liked this one more so for the shield/materials, so I figured I'd give it a shot. Oak made from bourbon barrels (Red Hill Cutlery exclusive).

It arrived just as I was leaving town last weekend for a kid's basketball tournament, so I brought it a long. I purposely kept my other knife in my bag to see how this would work as a solo knife, and was pleasantly surprised. Useful little guy, and back home his week, I've kept it in my jeans watch pocket where it fits perfectly besides my key fob.

So not sure that I'm in the cult, but I am a fan.

I'm not a drinker of the stuff, but I recognize a handsome knife scale when I see it. And that shield... yes, it is quite likable.

It has been awhile since i posted. Looked back and it has been a little over a year and a half. Life has been really busy. Anyway here is a pic of my peanut. Been almost nine years since my kids got it for me. Its getting thin in the blades but its still going strong.
