Peanut convert at IKEA.

I am going to Ikea and loiter around the the twine dispenser with only my car keys in hand. :D

Thanks for sharing.... :)

Good Deed by a Good Man, Thanks for sharing, in case you did not want one bad enough YET? I dug up this stock photo for you to remind you of what you are missing. Love mine!

Yeah, thats the ticket. What dealer has those for sale?
 
jk - well done, sir! My hat's off to you; I especially appreciate that it was a nice little Case CV you gave him. :thumbup:

thx - cpr
 
Jacknife, I hope when the guys tells his grandson about his great grandad he tells him also about the kind stranger he met buying furniture one day.

Now I think I'll get a damascus peanut as pocket jewlery. Today with Karen thinking I'm this kind benevolent grandad, she won't mind if I indulge myself for one more knife purchase. One went, one comes. There's a symetry to that. Kind of a yin/yang thing.

Yeah, a damascus peanut, thats the ticket!:D

You deserve it after the way you swindled that guy out of TWENTY FIVE CENTS! :p What happened to a penny!? ;)

Seriously, though - great gesture, and great story. You were right on to go with karma or whatever. I have a feeling that peanut will see a lot of pocket time over the next few decades
 
Nice going Jackknife. Even if you had an ulterior motive that was a real nice gesture. That young man will remember that all his days.
 
Jackknife, whatever happened to that young man who was cutting cardboard down at the range with a big ol' tactical knife? It was too thick to be efficient, and you showed him how effective a thin-bladed slipjoint was, taught him about useful calibers, and I think had him over for dinner. Did you ever see him again? Seems as though you've "adopted" another son or grandson.
 
I think Sooner State Knives has 'em as well, not that I'm trying to be an enabler. ;)
 
Excellent. I carried a peanut today, just out of convenience (I usually don't go with that pattern), but it was what I needed, when I needed it. It's also a benign enough (but still interesting) design, that I ask myself, how could anyone think ill of it? The Peanut isn't going to become my EDC anytime soon (most likely), but I have a lot of respect for the little knife. And, if I ever decide to buy a quality peanut- it'll probably be a yellow handled case. My father has a yellow handled 1950's vintage Colonial (IIRC) that he bought second hand. One of my current goals is replacing the LF&C/Universal Peanut he lost track of somewhere along the way.

Josh has been back to our house for dinner several times now. He sold his black tactical rifle and had enough for a new Marlin 39, a Ruger super single six .22/.22mag, and a clean exellent condition .357 Blackhawk. And some traditional knives. A few sodbusters, a stockman, and of course a sak. His marksmenship has improved a thousand percent as he shoots 500 rounds at a time now, with the cheap price of .22's. We shoot together on some Saturday mornings, and I coach him, and we have long talks on little things like techniques, and other stuff. I drop little pearls of wisdom his way, like; "Never touch liquir before sundown, but never go to bed quite sober."

I guess I'm his mentor now.
 
What a wonderful progression to that story. The spirit of Mr. Van lives on strongly in you. You're an example to us all.
 
Jackknife, that was a great act and a great story (with or without the damascus motive), its just the sort of thing that will help keep the knife culture alive.
 
Both of those stories are pretty cool, jackknife.

I cut up cardboard today, but nobody asked me about my yellow knife. :D
