Let's see your Peanuts & their Patinas

[Doug Add]

Nice Pete!

After some recent onion work, these blades are not very pretty. It is a working knife, not a show piece, so I am not bothered.

I figure today's a good day to update my peanuts patina, seeing as Vanguard blamed Doug & I for his recent purchase
I cleaned up the brass and gave the blades a few swipes on the back of my belt, and some mineral oil to the scales.

Haha, it is a good blame. Not a bad one. Very excited for it to get here. I usually keep my knives polished and looking like brand new, but this one I'll leave it untouched (besides sharpening).

I have a peanut collection but carry a Kershaw minitask. I prefer a lockback in my pocket. I had a John Primble stockman back in the early 60s and made the mistake of bringing it to basic training where the TI collected all knives and ????? never got it back.

Here's the old peanut my father used to own. He is the one that put on the earned patina. I still carry it from time to time but it is valuable since he passed away two years ago.

Your father's knife reminds me of my late father. A quintessential gentleman's pocket tool that reminds me of a time when the world was a little simpler. Very handsome knife.

With a little help from a grapefruit.

Replaces a Kershaw Chive that seems to have lost its way.

Today completes one solid year of peanut carry so here is what my peanut looks like today.

Hi,

With all the Case Peanuts around here, it's nice to see a couple of old Camillus #21's and #22's. I think I have 7 or 8 of them now.

Here is one of my favorite yeller #22's about to slice into a fresh dew kissed apple off of one of my trees early one morning.

Here's my "lil yeller nut" with a well earned patina---picture taken back in the summer along side of my very favorite little cuttin fixed blade by Alan Davis---they make a great pair

Happy Holidays Everyone:thumbup:

I like that yellow peanut; gotta get me one. Looks like that CZ shoots pretty good.

I know what you mean by it Ed, but I'm guessing it is JT that shoots pretty good!

Here are recent shots of my son's yeller, and my chestnut bone peanut.

This is the only one I have it is a Swap meet find. I do not who made it but it says USA other tang stamps may have been ground off?

14 months of everyday carry today.

EDC.

Yours looks just like a Kabar. I think Jack Black has one just like it. I don't know why it doesn't have tang stamps. Maybe it was made right before the factory closed or made by a former employee from take-home parts?

Here's a pic of a Kabar:

Not EDC but MDC (most days carry). These peanuts just age so nicely.

With the arrival today of the Sears Craftsman peanut, I now have three peanut style knives. Camillus 22 pony jack, Case 6220 peanut, Sears Craftsman 95041 peanut.

I can't participate (mine's stainless -- my yeller pen is my patina project) but this photo shows something I didn't realize until I got mine. The Case peanuts put the pen behind the main, with the nail nick facing the back. Completely backwards compared to most jackknives. It makes it impossible for the pen to interfere with access to the nail-nick on the main blade, though, and makes it so you can blindly decide which blade to open by which direction the blade opens. I'm left handed and open the knife with my right thumbnail, so clockwise is the main, and counterclockwise is the pen. It's a neat and thoughtful little design detail.

My only CV Peanut

 

[Jack Black]

Yours looks just like a Kabar. I think Jack Black has one just like it.

Indeed I do sir It was kindly given to me by Pete along with 90% of the patina

 

[Stich2442]

I think it looks better with the use you have given it, its well traveled Jack if you look at the first post in this thread it is in my picture.
