I have a question for you all.

[WA Martin]

Is a Schrade Old Timer 1080T a peanut? If it is, I own one. If it isn't, I don't. I've got large hands so don't think I'll ever go any smaller. In fact, I haven't carried it since I got Jani's folder in a G-A-W.

Well, my peanut-less days are quickly coming to an end. I won one of the knives in VMC3's peanut give away and it should be here soon. Thanks to Vince for the give away and I am pumped about finally getting a peanut. Also, today, I bought off of the infamous auction site we all know about, an Amber bone, CV small Texas Jack. This is the knife Flymon has been tempting me with for a good while now - he posts that thing every chance he gets. Anyway, today was a great knife day for TLARbb!!!

Got it yesterday. Here it is with the Texas Jack. Sweet! Thank you, Vince!!

No Peanut here.

Hmmm..., I don't think that came out just right either....

Well I have to confess due to Jackknifes many stories I bought a peanut, a nice cheastnut if I remember. The only issue is it is just to small for me to work with my big hands. But I have bought and gifted others.

No, this is a small Stockman. I have one of these as well, and have carried it often. It is about the same size and thickness as a Peanut, but with the three blades, it actually is more versatile. It is a great, tough, and sharp little workhorse, just like the Peanut.

I am also uninitiated in the way of the peanut. Haven't tried one.

who here does not have a peanut?

Come on, fess up and don't make me break out the rubber chicken!


Oh, and if you do have one, feel free to post some peanut porn.

Thanks to Vince, my first response is no longer correct - I now have a peanut, and a darn nice one too! Thanks, Vince.:thumbup:

(Levine's Guide says Craftsman knives were made by Camillus, Schrade and Ulster - anyone know who made this one?)

 

[navihawk]

Carl, I don't have a Peanut. I "stole" the above image from an earlier post to show why ..... the almost non-existent nail nick. No intent to dis your knife Ekalb2000, but it just captures what I didn't like about the Peanut I had.

I don't mind the size of the Peanut at all - I actually carry a smaller knife in my watchpocket - a Case Tiny Wharncliffe Trapper, that comes in at 2 7/16".

But between the super-small nail nick, and IIRC half-stops, I just never got comfortable opening the knife.

 

[hunterfisher808]

I don't have a Case peanut anymore (at one point I had 3) but have a Queen reverse one. To be honest I only carry her when I wear fancy clothes...if wedding and funeral attire could be considered fancy lol.

 

[coyote711]

Johnny, that is a fine lookin' Peanut - and I like your post #100 in this thread about using it while helping your Uncle! :thumbup:

Now, I just posted a little bit ago about the horrible nail nick I had on my Peanut - looked exactly like the one in that pic. Your 'Nut looks like it has a much better nick. (I understand that lighting, camera angle, etc. can change perceptions, but still .....)

I don't mean to side-track your thread here Carl; it's just that I'd really like to own a Case Peanut - kinda as a way of honoring you and your Father. I may have to look around some more and see if I can find one with a good lookin' nick on it.

Sorry to go off-topic here.

Keith, what models have you looked at? I
'm asking because I also had a brown, jigged delrin Peanut (my favorite Peanut, for some reason), and it had a decent nail nick as well. Maybe some styles have a shallower nail nick then others?
I agree with you, though. Don't get one if the nail nick is too shallow for your nails. Could become a safety issue. These little guys have a snap like a bear trap. When they shut, they SHUT.

Yellow CV, Johnny. I think it might have been NIB from a few years ago, not current production.

(I'm going to start a new thread about Peanuts so as not to side-track this thread anymore).

I have a few Peanuts. I really like the pattern, and have carried various 'nuts off and on over the years. The lower yella handled one with the pin crack was my wife's edc for years. I confiscated it from her when I realized she had been mistreating it, and replaced it with a SAK. She had been sharpening the blades with an orbital sander! No worries, it cleaned up just fine.

Please disregard the other knives on the top and right.

I have a pocketworn Harvest Orange SS peanut that I carry from time to time. GREAT little knife. I even used it to break down a large cardboard box once. That thin, sharp main blade zipped right through no problem. The only drawback to the peanut is they're so darn cute.
