Peas, peas, peas, peas, eating Goober peas. Goodness, how delicious! Eating Goober peas. (a.k.a. peanuts).

So we've been here in Mammoth Lakes California for 5 days now. Been trout fishing, hiking to Rainbow falls in the mountains, explored the old gold mining ghost town of Bodie, and fished some more. Hiked some more on the trail system they have in the mountains around here. It's certainly been an eye opener, and a close look at a side of California that Ihad never seen before. Visiting Jess and her family in the past it's been beaches and sight seeing at old Spanish missions. Now I've seen that the Bear State has real wilderness.

Through the whole thing, the Camillus peanut has been in my pocket, along with the little classic on the keyring. Cutting bait, gutting fresh caught trout, doing food duty on a hike in the mountains, the 2 inch blade has done well. Slicing up some cheese for granddaughters crackers by the trailside, opening food packages, I've been surprised agains at how one small blade gets it done. Even in the Sierra Nevada mountains. On the trip out, it did mostly plastic food wrapping destruction.

The peanut has been great so far.

Cool beans, er, Goobers!

Some beautiful peanuts folks. Glad to see the love! Our emissaries are running ragged .

I had the case chestnut bone peanut with me at Lowes today and I was buying some 5/8 woven polypropylene rope. The guy couldn't get it cut or even started. Out comes the little nut and that cv blade went through in thee quick swipes.

What do you call that handle treatment? It looks elegantly non-slip.

This thread is dangerous. I have on the way a Schatt and Morgan stag peanut with carbon steel blades.

A case tiny trapper with wharncliffe in stag, a hunter green ss slanted bolster case and a vintage brown bone case.

I've lusted in my heart after all of those (and many more), but fortunately I've been able to mostly stick to imaginary purchases so far.

Not yet, but I always have a tab open on my browser to the site of a favorite dealer, and it's currently on the Rough Rider Peanut page, as it often is.

Go for it you know you want to

Case calls it Ivy Etched Bermuda Green Bone , can't quite measure it's depth but as you noticed it provides a nice texture which adds to the grip, here's a quickly shot closeup of the engraving, I'm guessing done by laser?

Thanks.
I'd guess you're right about the laser.
I usually don't care about handle materials, or maybe I'm even a reverse snob about them (give me a nice, stable synthetic).
They've got me with that one, though.

 

[Biggie_Robs]

It's very cool, however it's done. Enjoy!

 

[Gary W. Graley]

Thanks, changed that photo with one that shows it more greenish than the other one, so the one you quoted will be disappeareded soon.

But yes, I was quite taken by that, and it drove me to order the medium stockman with the same scale treatment but got too many things in at the same time so the medium stockman sat while I used the Peanut or my new large stockman Purple Haze...it was sad, so I sold her off...

The coolest thing

about this trapper nut,

in my opinion,

is the 6220 and a half blade stamp.

Bonus:

Here's hoping for a CV version.
