Congrats, the yellow looks great, my Boker congress & peanut have made a great pair.

Nice. My first nut is on it's way. I got a used Queen Rawhide for a good price. Needs a little TLC, but that's fine. I'll end up getting a yellow CV like yours though. I just love the yellow delrin knives.
 
You have inspired this newbie to go peanut shopping. New TSA rules and my second glass of wine on a Saturday night have helped too :)
 
Looks grand, I believe that yellow Delrin and CV is a killer combo with any pattern, especially the Peanut. The Peanut will grow on you a great deal if you let it, at first I didn't think much of mine, however after countless tales, and testimonies by jackknife, helped me accept it for what it is. You'll enjoy it.

No kidding! already eyeing some other knives that might be considered peanuts. (camillus #22 in particular) although i am really trying to save for the forum knife :P. i dont like decisions..... even though they are good they are also bad :P

Just stick $10 in your sock drawer every pay and you'll have the forum knife more than covered by the time you'll need to pay.
 
The only peanut I have is the pearl one with the scissors and bail. Havent carried it yet. The Chestnut CV is calling me though!

Last week I ordered a Chestnut Peanut CV along with another Case, but they haven't shipped yet.
 
Very good choice for a first peanut. My bet is if you keep it sharp, there will not be too many times you will feel you need a bigger knife. Enjoy the ride.

Welcome to Bladeforums and "Traditionals" in particular. You will probably be a bit amazed at what you can do with a peanut. I was and it took me a loonnnngggg time to decide to buy one. I've got five now.
