I've had this little Queen Peanut for a number of years now. Given to me by an old friend. I don't carry it but its seen some use in its day. I got it sharp as a scalpel!

This one came to me like this, I was attracted to the patina and of course it being an 80 to 90 year old knife in great condition helped.

Be still my heart. That knife transports me back in time.

That’s a speicial knife! It reminds me a lot of my #73L which is a favorite of mine.

My Father’s old hunting knife he bought in the 70’s passed down to me, well used , and well loved, skinned many a deer and cleaned its share of catfish. Modest patina even though it’s over 40 years old. Keep ‘me clean after use. (Though he also had a habit of sticking in sandy soil before sharpening to “clean all dat black $#@+ off”).
