I just wanted to share with my folksy brothers. I scored this Case XX Stag Peanut for $31 bucks and it arrived yesterday. This is my sixth Peanut to date.

Next one on my list is a CV peanut in Amber bone if I can find one. It's no collectors grade stag since the scales don't match very well so it wont be a safe queen and I can use it without feeling too bad about it.

May the folksy be with you. :)

Are they called peanuts because they look kind of, sort of, like the legume? Or just because they're small and convenient?
Nice deal. That's a very even patina you got there.
 
I haven't been able to find a cv peanut with amber bone scales. There are several other patterns, but no peanut. I prefer the natural materials like the red bone cv peanut or the chestnut cv with blued blades.
I really like this new stag ss peanut, it has found a nice home along with my other EDC slippies.
 
Enjoy that little guy, zombie. It's definitely a keeper. It can go, too, so don't baby it. Use it and use it hard with no fear. I have the Bone Stag SS Peanut, and let me tell ya, size not withstanding, it is definitely a tough little knife. I have another thread going here about tough knives, and this one is DEFINITELY one that belongs on the list. I have used mine for everything from cutting heavy rope to slicing cheese, from cutting twine to skinning alligators and crocodiles. It sliced a bagel and spread some cream cheese in the hospital cafeteria the day my daughter was born, and helped my grandmother prune her roses. A hard work knife in a small package with the original non-slip handle. Enjoy.

My father says they are too small, as he whips out his large stag copperlock. I am starting to believe these little peanuts can do just about anything. I'd feel naked without one.:thumbup:

I've had that experience as well, where someone laughs at my little knife, only to have their bigger blade humbled by my tiny razor. And I also feel naked without it. Try as I might, I can't seem to stay away from it. No matter what I carry, my Peanut always finds it's way back into my pocket.
 
Well, sometimes the Peanut is just perfect. It's always cute and handy, and built like a real knife instead of a toy.



But sometimes, I have to agree that it is too small.




Suit the tool to the use.

That's always been my one complaint about the peanut, It's great for 99% of what I need out of a pocket knife, cutting wise. But once in a while I wish it was a 3 1/8 knife like the Case pen knife.
