Got my second peanut in the mail today. The first, a yellow handled cv model was in my hand about half a minute before my wife saw it. She has carried it ever since.
This one is all mine. After weeks of looking on line at various knifeshops and of course e-bay I finially settled on one. It's an autumn bone with silver script model. Very nicely put together and pretty to look at to.
It's gonna be a user so in the pocket it goes. Might take it fishing here in a little while. Tomorrow it will go to work, as long as I go.
I am just tickled with this little knife. I think it will see alot of pocket time. I have learned that I really don't need a very big knife for edc.
Enough said. I just had to tell somebody about my new peanut!:D
 
Congrats!! It looks like there's alot of happy knife owners here today.

Congrats on the peanut, Grateful. It's a wonderfull and under estimated pattern to carry in a pocket. I take mine fishing all the time!

Use it well. :thumbup:
 
:thumbup: :thumbup: Nothing wrong at all with a pretty little peanut riding along with you! Gotta love it when that combination of easy carry, great utility, good build, and beautiful looks comes together.

A pleasant thing to see folks here enjoying their newly acquired knives. :D
 
Congrats, Grateful!! Enjoy the peanut. A peanut was next on on my list, but I got sidetracked.

Its nice to see I'm not the only giddy one around here.

If it makes you feel any better (not that anything could at this point) my wife steals my knives too.
 
Marcinek, when you get around to getting a peanut you will be happy with it. I'm sure of that. I don't mind that my wife swiped my first peanut. At least this way I know she is carrying a good little knife around with her.
Thanks for all the atta'boys guys. It's nice to get a little feedback.
I just finished changing the oil in my wife's van and my peanut was called upon for the first time. I used it to remove the silver seal under the lid of a 5 quart oil jug. It sliced that sucker off their nothing flat.:thumbup:
Now I'm off to our local city lake.
 
I wonder if the peanut is one of those things that you don't appretiate untill you reach a certain point in life. Like the appretiation of a nice whiskey instead of beer with the guys, or a nice pate instead of slim jims.

I only say this from my own personel expriance, and seeing how my dad got by his whole life with a Case peanut as his only edc. When I was younger and full of p--s and vinigar, I could'nt for the life of me figure out why he carried such a small knife. Just as I could'nt figure out how he got by with just that old Colt Woodsman for a gun. I guess in my case, young and dumb went hand in hand. Thank God with age comes maturity, and maybe if we're lucky, some bit of wisdom.

Now I've become my father and carry a peanut, and it does very well as an edc. The only short comming it has is food stuff out on a hike or campout, but then I have a small sheath knife for outdoor activities.

And the small blade reams a pipe bowl so well!:D
 
You know what sounds funny...
"They can take my peanut when they pry it from my cold, dead fingers" :)
 
Ah, another Peanut thread. Definitely my favorite pattern. A bit small, but those little blades definitly have big blade capabilities. Sometimes I don't like the way it only fits the first three finger of my hand when holding it, but then the blades perform so friggin well that it makes the grip irrelevant. One of the best slicers I own. Right now I am carrying a Schrade Uncle Henry to give it a try, but my Peanut is calling my name.
 
Recently picked up my first quality peanut, and it has been in my pocket everyday. I did not think that little knife would do any good, then I used it to cut up some boxes. That little knife is amazing, and it may replace most of my EDC now that I have seen the light.

I have been working on the pen blade putting a convex edge on it. Those old carbon blade seem to take a very nice edge. :D

I think the peanut pattern the best pocket knife ever designed. I prefer the Case variety in CV but the SS works just as good in this size knife.

This is my new and first one, assuming it is a peanut? I couldn't grip the regular case one and picked up one of these. I think it is 1/8 to 1/4 inch larger than a typical peanut. It is very small still but feels better in my hands.

Picked it up for $34.00 I hate to use it, it's so pretty, but I'm making it a user, as I'm not into collecting knifes.
 
I have a peanut. Mines a real cheap, but smoothe stainless Remington. High polish blades, and black Delrin scales. I only bought it because Dick's had a sale going, and the display knife seemed like decent quality. Needless to say, I like it, a lot. It's got a size and shape that some together so well.

No, that's not a Peanut, but it may have the same blades. They don't list the sizes.

BTW, if you got that knife for $34, congrats. :)

Thanks Para. I'm 6'2" and have medium sized hands, not large ones. I held a peanut and could not get it to touch my pinky finger so it did not feel right. I found this, which is a tad larger but almost the same configuratoin. It's much smaller than my Case Texas jack, but a tad bigger than a peanut. It at least touches my pinky. They had two on closeout at a CASE outlet store and I bought one of them. kind of wish I bought both. Great feeling knife.
 
Psst... To be honest, I feel the same way. I've got a Peanut and love it, and will admit that it probably does cut better with that particular thin blade grind.

But lately my small "go to" knife has been my Mini-Copperhead with Wharncliff. It's a little longer than a 'nut, and I have a thing for Wharncliff blades, so I find myself toting it quite often.

Though for the past week I've been packing the heavy artillery: a Moore Maker 5 bladed stockman I picked up from a forumite (thanks, Chris!).

Big knives, small knives, it's all good! :)

Still enjoying the peanut. Carried it to work last night and used it to cut some cardboard and plastic sheathing. It cuts like a little chainsaw.;)
 
I've realized that I must get a Peanut!

Which brand would you recommend? Case? Queen? Schatt & Morgan? I've never had either, so I have no idea which is better.

Ya simply have to start with a Case, preferably one in CV. The Yellow Handle in CV is a great starter. You may be able to stop at one, but unless there is just some other pattern or material type that keeps you occupied, you might find yourself gathering several. But that yellow CV is classic.
 
If you're buying it for its cutting ability, get a Case. I don't know about prices where you are, but in the US you can get the yellow Delrin, CV steel model for $26 + shipping. Red bone is $34. No one else that I'm aware of has a carbon steel one.

Beyond that you can spend as much as you want, and you'll basically just get fancier handles, and better fit and finish as you pay more. $50 for a Queen, $80 for a S&M, on up to whatever you can afford.

Good luck!
