Peanut Question

[afishhunter]

While perusing the website I've bought most of my knives from, I came across a ELK RIDGE Peanut, the likes of which I have never seen.

It has the "standard" "Turkish Clip" main blade, but the secondary blade is a sheepsfoot, the same length as the clip point.

At 2.5 inches clsosed, and the classic "peanut" shape, as far as I know, (which is admittedly very little, when it comes to this pattern knife) it "qualifies" as a Peanut pattern. Elk Ridge calls it a peanut.

What say the peanut experts? Would this be considered a peanut worthy of admission to the cult, or does a "true" peanut have to have a pen blade as the secondary?

I'll probably still just get a Rough Rider peanut, sometime next year (half the cost of this Elk Ridge) but I can see where a sheepsfoot would be handier than a pen blade, for some uses.

While most peanuts come with the expected clip/pen combo of blades, Ihave seen some peanuts with spey blades as a secondary blade, or even a small scissors. Theres the occasional 4 or 5 blade peanut. All interesting variations of a wonderfully useful everyday pattern. Truth be told, while I do value the small pen blade, I wouldn't mind a spey bladed 'nut myself.

Yes, I would consider it very welcome to The Cult!:thumb up:

Rule 26A of the Cult; "Let no 'nut be left behind!"

I like my GEC Knives with a Sheepsfoot Blade so I think I will take a look at the Elk Ridge Peanut and see what I think.!**
Thanks a bunch ~~ afishhunter .!!***
