Hi folks,
as many of you might have noticed, I haven't been online much this year, but I was busy enjoying my holidays
so bear with me.... 
This is just another way to thank this community. Mudguard's thread about stepping a little back from this forum made me think about the reasons why I log in here daily, and I have come to the conclusion that knives are just an excuse, a conversation topic, to share some time with such a great bunch of people who happen to share the same passion. I receive so much from you folks, and I try to contribute when I can. So here's a little story.
More than a year ago, a very nice and kind member of this forum contacted me and told me he was willing to send me a knife as a gift; he thought that, according to the things I wrote here, I could like this knife and pattern, and after a few weeks this knife showed up after a trip from Finland to Sardinia:
It's hard for me to express my thankfulness for Will's gesture, for letting me discover the peanut, and mostly for making me sense that warmth that sometimes feels so natural here that we forget how rare and precious it really is. I have carried this knife quite often for some months, I learned alot about it and about small knives, I felt closer to Carl and his cult, and I want to thank Will again for his generosity.
Now, I feel that the time has come for this knife to move on. I know there's still a lot of peanut love on this forum, so hopefully someone else will be happy to receive it and give it a try. Anyone of us (we know who we are) is welcome to enter and take his chance; I will pick the winner randomly somewhen (probably by the end of the month), so hurry up. I will ship anywhere.
Random thoughts and pictures are welcome, of course
Good luck folks!
Update! The lucky winner of this smooth antique bone Case Peanut is Arizonaranchman
