I found an old one in good shape, but with enough wear and pepper spots I didn't mind experimenting. The blades are thin on these guys, it doesn't take long to reshape them. If I break the delicate tip of the wharncliffe, I'll just bring down the spine and make it a coping.
My new yella wharnie 'nut:

Ya done good, son! Real good!!:thumbup::thumbup:

Now just send the pics to Case and maybe they will make it an available model. Maybe an Official run for cult members.:D
 
This thread is creating an addiction for me. I've now purchased two Case peanuts: a Corelon Purple Passion and a Corelon Aquarius version. Now I'm eyeing the cv chestnut and the regular ss jigged blue bone...

Thanks, Jackknife. High praise indeed from the Grand Poo-bah himself. I'm blushing.
(Also, I'm a girl) :o
 
Quick question for all the esteemed P'nut lovers. I recently saw a Red bone Case Scout knife (three blades 2 identical clip and a center serrated blade) which resembled a peanut. It had an Arrow shield and was 2 3/4" closed, and 4 7/8 " open. The 1st clip blade tang was marked CASE XX USA 2 DOTS.
The middle second blade was serrated and marked 6320 1/2. The last bade was marked CASE XX USA 2 DOT.
Box tag had the following: ITEM # 01041 3 BLD POCKET 6320 1/2 SSM RD MODULE 2 04/20/98

Can anyone help me identify if this knife is a version of a peanut or if you have one post some comments or pics? I didn't have the chance to when i saw it.

Thanks!

The olive bone scales look nice but it looks like it will be in stainless and not cv. I'm not sure why Case has alot more ss than cv selections. I guess because they cater more to the collector than the user?

I would guess that they sell more stainless because more people prefer it for the shine and the lower maintenance requirements.
 
Well I know have collected a yellow, chestnut and an old red pocket worn peanut. I request membership in the cult of the peanut. Small but sharp little knives. Thanks

That 'nut is looking' real good, Pete!:thumb up:

Lots on very nice pocket wear on the bone, great patina on the blades. Like real veteran of the pocket carry now.

Carl, still Grand High Muckba in his heart.
 
I realize this is a bit late to ask. Howver, is a peanut strictly a Case pattern/product, or does it refer to particularly small knives in a 'mini-trapper' pattern ?

Nooo, not "mini-trapper", that would be a Trappernut (yes, they really exist (image borrowed from W.R. Case website)). Peanut is a "general" pattern of its own.
I have peanuts made by Case, Queen, Colt and Rough Rider and I guess there are quite a few more manufacturers out there who make them.
 
Since joining this forum, and finding my way over to you good folks on the traditional side, I have been looking for my first peanut. I thought this would be an easy task. I was wrong. The first peanut I ordered came cracked so I sent it back. I kept hunting but none really spoke to me. I had one close to being pocketed...but it got away, sold before I could grab it. The hunt continued.

Well, I found this one on evilbay and the gentleman selling it was asking way over my budget. I wrote the gentleman expressing my desire to own the knife. He rejected my first offer. I wrote him again expressing how I understood and hoped it found the right home. We wrote back and forth about the peanut's history. The time was expiring on his auction and in a last attempt I added 5 dollars to my offer. It was accepted. Half the asking price! I was shocked and excited over his generosity. He certainly took a loss. I believe he heard the excited newbie and decided to pay me a favor.

The mailman took forever but today I was able to hold my very first peanut that I could call mine. Please bestow the honor of allowing a humble newbie into the folds of the cult. A 1971 never carried smooth laminate:

KBA,

WOW very cool! What a wonderful find and a fantastic start in the Peanut experience. That's a cool scale and to find one in new condition is awesome. Great pics, thanks for sharing.

Carl should be along shortly to bless your Peanut and formally bring you into the Cult. :)

I always have a Peanut with me, even in PJ's lounging around the house my Peanut is in the pocket.
 
Good deal on the peanut. You struggled to get it, so you must be in the cult already :D
It has quite some interesting looking scales.
 
Wow KBA ... I mean Holy... that is one beautiful 'nut you got yourself there! Congratulations! :D

Congrats and great knife but I don't think that is a laminate, it looks like Appaloosa bone, what's the tang stamp read? If it's A6220 it is Appaloosa bone
