Anyone have one of the peanuts that has scissors in place of the pen blade?

First day carrying a peanut ever.. I thought it may be too small, but it did the job every time I took it out of my pocket today

From the Cult Of The Peanut handbook; "It doesn't have to be big, just sharp!"

Ah, the forming of a patina with use..a pleasure offered by the good old carbon steel

Cool pic, congrats on the new yella 'Nut. I like the look of yellow Delrin - it's sort of retro

Yes, it does.

 

[jacktrades_nbk]

Yeah, i'm kind of retro myself.

About that peanut, the edge on the clip wasn't what i expected when i took it out of the box, it was misaligned, as it took a curve near the tip, about 0.40 inch, so that last portion was more like a chisel grind, while the opposite bevel was very steep.
But in about one hour or so, and with the help of some sharpening stones, i fixed the problem, and made a thin equal bevel, about 30 degrees inclusive, put a micro 40 degrees bevel, and stropped it into a nice convex edge. It is now very sharp, just as i like my peanuts, and the edge is centered.
Noticed that the delrin peanut is a bit more "boxy" than the chestnut one. It's almost like the difference between a regular chestnut and a factory pocket worn peanut.
So the delrin peanut has slightly thicker bolsters, and feels more chunky, making it my little tank peanut.

I've lurked on this thread for long enough and finally caught a pic of mine (for a long time its just been my matter of fact carry, like my Alox pioneer or Leatherman Micra). Here it is, sign me up. I got a redbone coming in the mail today and a bunch of old Camillus and Ulsters to share soon.
