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.

Pete

Thanks Pete, and thanks for the heads-up

My 'nut is kinda funny looking right now- the large blade quickly accumulated a nice patina from cutting apples, etc. but the pen blade, which I use much less commonly, still looks exactly the same as it did when I bought it. I'll upload a picture soon.

It's been just about 19 months of every day carry for my peanut, I was looking at the scales and they seem to be showing signs of being pocket worn, so I looked at my original post and I can really see it on the pile side.
Here it is today

Seems like most people around here carry a peanut everyday or casually, so thought it would be neat to see how people's patinas develop. I have two my Case Chestnut which is a little over six months old and used daily, my second is a Kabar flea market find that I picked up sometime in the middle of May.

Pete very kindly gifted me his Ka-bar Peanut. Here's a pic taken about 6 months ago. Nice to be able to see the Peanut in Pete's posts and to know the patina has been put on by both of us

Nice Jack, happy it is in your pocket, instead of on my nightstand. Looks like its been put to some good work.

Great thread guys, enjoyed seeing these daily workers as they age so gracefully. Keep this thread going!

I can't take a picture to save my life but here's my new peanut. Less than a week old.

I believe this deserves to be brought back to life again. Here's mine after two months of daily carry and use.

My four CV peanuts. The red is just a couple weeks old with only about a week pocket time. A couple of the others need some love, lol

 

[Stich2442]

Forgot all about this thread,

ISKRA- your nut is coming along nicely
Duderubble- nice collection

Here's some more recent pictures, I'm just shy of 5 years of every day carry, I use my peanut for everything, pruning vegetables, carpentry, general fix it and tinkering repairs etc. I very rarely need a larger knife.

Love these peanuts in CV and I would have a hard time passing by any of them I don't already have that I encounter for sale. That's how I got the latest one in red, I knew they were in production but had managed to avoid them until at a Case knife festival a couple weeks ago there they were for $35. walked by twice, but not the third time.

It's looking wonderfully pocket worn, Pete :thumbup:

Here's mine;
