Welcome to the cult.:thumbup:

You do realize that you should abandon all hope now, don't you. :D

Soon there will follow a chestnut peanut, or a red bone, or a...

Doesn't it strike you as odd that Jackknife never seems to age despite the onslaught of time? Must be iron pills or something...I dare not consider any more sinister possibilities. ;)
 
I am calling this a near-peanut. Maybe I will still get to attend meetings if I sit in the back and keep quite.........300Bucks

This one just came in the mail this afternoon. I haven't decided on whether or not I will force a patina or let it happen naturally. My cv Cases are running about half and half forced and natural.
Finally got my little yella.
 
Combat, I love the peanut and I'm happy to be back in the club, they make a great little companion.
Can't wait to hear what you think.

Yobbos, I say let it do it's own thing, that way it will be "honest" patina. It'll have some stories to tell about getting that patina, instead of a one day warm vinegar. I love a forced patina, don't get me wrong, but nothing beats a good ol' honest days work patina. I love the one on my yeller nut, it looks great. :thumbup:

I'll add fresh pics soon.
 
The best patina I've found is to take it fishing, and clean some pan fish. I don't know if it's the acids in the fish blood and guts, or what, but it gives the carbon steel a really neat blueish hue, kind of like a muted rainbow effect. :thumbup:

Besides, I think it's an unwritten law in some places, that you have to go fishing with a yella handle knife.

Looks like the Peanut Man AKA Jack Knife mustache must have gotten grey and he shaved it off. LOL

Congrats on the Peanut CJJ. I love that pattern. It was my introduction into the world of small knives. While I still have my Bonestag Case Peanut, lately I have been carrying my Autumn Orange, Barnyard jigged Bone handled two blade Tiny Toothpick. It is a tiny bit longer then the Peanut, but otherwise very similar. However, it has a certain...... pannache? It's definitely a cool little knife, with it's curved Toothpick blade and it's pen blade. I mention this because, not only will you find that peanuts multiply, they seem to call other "little" knives into your pockets. LOL.

Yeah, you gotta be careful, peanuts can be a gateway drug to other little adictions. Like tiny toothpicks, min trappers, Eisenhower's, pen's, and I think we even have a tuxedo addict around here someplace.:)

Congrats and welcome! My yellow CV peanut has a ton of miles on it. I recently shelved it because of my new interest in the single spring half whittlers. I'm sure its a passing fancy and the peanut will be back in the pocket soon.

Posts like this one \/ aren't helping me at all though :p
