Cult of the peanut , members

Just caught up on this thread for the first time in awhile. I'm loving all the new blood the cult has drawn. Here is my beloved 'nut that is currently sitting in the bottom of my pocket.

 
ok, just ordered a Rough Rider 858, (with imitation tortoise shell handles) that has a closed length of 2 point 5 inches, and has 2 blades that open from same end. Rough Rider calls it a "small trapper" but it looks more like a Barlow, to me.

Does this knife count as a peanut, based on its size?

The Cult Masters have spoken:

Knives less than 3” closed, count as honorary peanuts.

My small stockman qualifies. So will your small trapper.

I am sure this will be unpopular but here goes. As much as i like my peanuts they can be a bit fiddley to open if your fingers have the arthritis in them, which brings me to GECs two peanut like offerings the Magnum and the Pemberton ( i exclude the Esquire as it is a sleeveboard ) i find them easier to open and close, with the blades being a tad larger although they all have half stops which i personally do not care for , (this is where the RR peanut wins out for me). Now i come to the bit that none of us traditional fans will like, but the simple fact is that for ease of opening and generally sharpness out of the box it is hard to beat the smaller offerings from Spyderco gulp shock horror !!! In the colder weather when my hands stiffen up i carry a Manbug and enjoy the heck out of it, although it can not compare in looks or feel to my "trads" it allows me to carry and use a small knife when i can not open and close a small traditional easily . So in the words of The Cult Master as it is less than 3" closed i claim honorary peanut status for my Manbug. I offer some pictures for comparison.

Old man, we will have to get back to you on that. At the present time, we are very busy with the RONCO defibrillator dealing with some multiple cardiac issues your post caused in the innermost inner sanctum of The Cult. The appearance of a Spyderco product did not go over well.

Oh my word, i did not think my simple missive would cause that much discumbobulation, i kneel in obeisance and promise not to touch a knife beginning with the S word until at least November. In the interim i would suggest liberal ingestion of Abbot"s ale ( it always works for me in times of stress, or any other time come to that ).

OMR.
 
I am still trying to regain my eyesight after seeing that... thing.... along with the Peanuts!

Gary - do we still do public hangings?

John, I think a promise to carry a peanut for a few days will suffice. ;)
 
Let's all just spend a Sunday afternoon sharpening some good old Peanuts. :)

That's a fine idea. I have been carrying my yellow delrin Peanut today and here in a few minutes I will take it into the house and touch it up a little.
I ordered a new Peanut this morning. Well actually I asked my wife to order it for me but I did pick it out. Chestnut bone and cv blades, can't wait till the postman brings it.
