The peanut and the recruit are my daily carries. The peanut has gone with me everyday for almost 2 years know.

I love seeing that peanut pop up from time to time TrapperMike TrapperMike :thumbsup: Hard to believe it's already been two years!

Thanks. Yep almost two years and it serves me well. I use it everyday. It might look small but it performs big. I know it is just a basic model and has delrin handles but it is a great knife and it is MY knife. My kids were so proud to present it to me on that Christmas day and I am just as proud to use it and show it off here on the porch.

That's really nice! I've never seen a '33 in bone -- being a small knife fan I went looking for either a 6233 or 6333 recently but all I could find was the brown synthetic, which I didn't care for.

If they were so proud that Christmas Day, think of the re-accuring pleasure they feel every tine they see you using that knife! It's always going to be daddies knife that they gave to you. Such a heritage is priceless.:thumbsup:

Put a Victoinox quatro or Sear's 4-way keychain screw driver and a P-38 in your wallet and leave the SAK in the car glove box. The greatest honor to your children is to let them see how you' ve totally committed to the 'their' peanut they gifted you.

Your right they always take notice when I use the peanut. My son often asks if I have been using it. I tell him it goes wherever I go and it cuts everything I want to cut. He now enjoys using a peanut That I gave him. It happens to be just like mine.

That's great. Kids really appreciate their parents actually using a well thought out gift. Your son should be using that peanut for years to come. I started with the little ones and then moved up in size as my hands grew larger. Now I'm a lot older and my blades have been getting smaller to reflect what I actually use them for. Seldom do any power cutting anymore that requires a full hand grip on a slippie.

It's a joy watching him use his peanut. He will whittle a bit and cut this and that. I really haven't had to give him to much instruction. It's like it came natural, here's a knife I need to cut something. Lol. Of course I know he has watched me. He likes to hang out with me in my shop when I am working.
 
When I was a kid, one of the things we did was carve our initials into Beech trees. This required a fairly stout slippie. There was a woods below our house (in the country) that had lots of Beech trees and we would walk down there to carve away. Yeah, I know that this activity is frowned upon these days especially in public areas (parks, along trails and so forth). I remember seeing initials my Dad carved like 25 years before hand and thinking that was so cool. So, we did it too. I don't live there anymore, but I would be willing to bet I could wander down there and still find sets of initials I carved in the early 60's.
