How many peanut knives do you own?

I'm looking at buying the chestnut bone cv. What are some good companies or websites to buy case?

Until about 3 weeks ago, my chestnut bone, CV, med. stockman lived in my pocket for years. I loved that knife enough to try and legally adopt it as a family member. Then I saw a peanut. I saw the light, and needed to find a reason. I found a reason and bought a peanut: yellow delrin and CV. My life has changed greatly, and I have never been happier. But I fear the stockman might get lonely. I am loving that little peanut, and while I only own one (to answer your question), we are very close. Bone is next up.

No need to for your faithful stockman to feel neglected...carry both! :)
 
I have two, a smooth med. Blue in ss, and a chestnut Cv. I tend to carry the chestnut more than the smooth just because I like watching the patina form. Its kind of like your knife is alive watching it change over time.

Collectorknives.net has a fair array of Case knives.
So does knifecenter.com
Likwise Grand Prairie Knives (gpknives.com)
New Graham carries Case knives.
AG Russell carries some also.

I have purchased knives from all of these folks and have always been happy with what I got and the service.

Per forum guidelines, we only recommend knife dealers who have BF dealer memberships when posting in threads.

If Cards were to go to his profile page and activate email, folks could email a wider array of answers.

I have only one...an old Case XX.

No dots, no USA.

The 'dots' first came in 1970, and the 'USA' stamping first came with the 1965-1969 knives from Case (per new U.S. law, which starting requiring products produced in this country to be labelled as such). So, assuming yours is stamped like this:

CASE
XX

it would then be a 1940-1964 vintage. If the Peanut has a pattern stamp on it (either 2220/3220/5220/6220, depending on handle material), that would've come after 1949, as Case didn't stamp pattern numbers on blades prior to that. If there's no pattern number on it, in tandem with the stamping as above, it would be 1940-'49 vintage.

5...... Case cheasnut bone cv,case yellow cv, bear MGC wood/ss, Appalachian stag/ss, and a rough rider with smooth white bone... I am a bigger knife person usually, but the have been lately finding their way into my pocket as my work knife... I am loving them
 
Er, (rummages in knife chests) Only 3 now. CASE Crandall Greenbone (very thick handles) CASE 6.5 Bonestag (not a very good example of this usually nice handle) RR Greengunstock Bone (very thin blades that are amazingly sharp) Gave 2 away round here as I'm downsizing on this pattern :D:D There are small patterns I prefer. Pen, Copperhead, Conductor, Senator.
 
That's me too. I even had a perfect example of one in my hand with the cash ready to go. I ended up spending 1k on knives that day too.

My wife has one she got off me with side play that irked me bad, I have an old timer 120t as well.
 
I've got four good ones and two pieces of junk. The good ones are Case, Craftsman (from Vince's give away), and a Kissing Krane that might actually be a small trapper instead of a "real" peanut.

I have a Pemberton too. Great knife, but not a peanut, to me anyway.

That's a nice collection of Peanuts. I just started collecting them myself. Currently, I don't have even one, but I just placed an order for a Damascus and Bone Peanut. So that will be my first. The ones with carbon steel are very limited in choice.
 
I don't own any Peanuts. But after reading all of the stories in the collection of "Jack Knife's Tales", I am intrigued by them now, and I have been looking around to maybe purchase one or two, just to see if I have much use for them. I am 56 years old and have used knives very hard most of my life, but especially in my youth teens and 20's saw the hardest use, because I guess I was most active then, and did the hard work involved in full time farming/ranching, etc. I have always been a fan of the big folding hunter type knives usually backed up by a 4 inch long 3 bladed stockman. I still have an old kampking Boy scout type knife from my childhood, that was fairly useful, however, I never carried it much back them, but I always kept it around, because I found the leather punch to be quite handy, and still use it from time to time.

Frankly, I never took a knife much smaller then a 3 bladed stockmen that seriously, even though I knew some that carried them. And even now looking back, I don't think I could have done near as much with the Peanut. I am sure the little blade is more capable then one would think, however. I have been buying some smaller knives lately, and just received today, 2 GEC #12 Toothpicks, one with the single blade, and one with the second little pen or spear blade. I think I will carry the 2 bladed one in my watch pocket of my jeans as a back up for my big knife. And I think I will save the single bladed one for taking with me, when I go out to eat a nice steak, as I am through trying to tear my steak apart with those dull serrated excuses for a knife that you get supplied with at the steak house. I suppose a Peanut could also excel in this theater also, since they are so small, no one would get frightened when you pull them out of your pocket.
 
I have just the one. For now. It was a gift from an extremely generous member of the forum. That gifted peanut has not left my pocket since I got it. There will be more in my future.

These are extremely cool knives, IMHO. :thumbup:
