Pemberton vs. Peanut.......comparison pics

Yes, those are deerskin. I make them as gifts, thanks for asking. Message me and I will be glad to help.

For anyone wanting to make one, the dimensions are 3/4" wide between seams, and 3.5" tall, of which the top 1/2" is above the last stich. You will need just scissors, a hole punch, and a lacing needle. All from Tandy leather, including the hide.

Thanks for the kind words. You are welcome to one, just pm me.

To stay on topic, a pemberton fits slightly tighter in a sleeve, than a peanut. It's because the blade is taller.

Play spot the pemberton and peanut in a pouch

Jon - I left you a visitor message

Middle one Peanut?

I have to say that I like both equally.

There's something about the shape of the pemberton I don't care for. I prefer the peanut.

The Pem has all but replaced the Peanut for me. I'm excited for the 22 Magnum (would live to see a Yellow Rose version).

All these pics are helpful. I've been meaning to try out a pemberton because as a wearer of xl and sometimes xxl gloves (wide palms) I have a hard time opening the blades on my peanut sized knives. I work in healthcare and keep my nails quite short and dont have much to pinch on the peanut.

Im looking forward to the new magnum as the pembertons were quite popular and most handle materials are hard to find.
