The Peanut Class of knife.

Nice pic, 252chevyboyz! 👍 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I sure appreciate it. Had to burn some of the scraps from splitting up 6 cords of wood and the peanut made a companion today no doubt

I did my own peanut test, described here. In spite of that I love peanuts, but almost always carry one as a second knife.

A whole thread of peanut love is here, as well.

I love small knives and really really would like to be a peanut user, but that's just not going to happen until I can score a good vintage example because I just can't stand the canted blade or nail nick position of the current peanuts main blade.
Both of these things are purely cosmetic visual concerns, but they're things I just could not look past no matter how hard I tried.

Exclusing the Barlows, and sub 85mm SAK's my sub 3.5 inch "Peanut Class" knives:
KaBar 1081 Stockman. (3 .25" closed (+/- 1/32")
MIKOV "Fish Knife" (2 7/8" closed end of fin to snout. 3 1/8" including tab for split ring.) (both measurements +/- 1/32 inch.)
CASE Carhart 63087 Stockman (about +/- 1/32" same size as the KaBar.)
(Sorry. I don't have a caliper for precise measurements. Just 4 steel rules.)

Master Clip Point opened

While a "good knife is carried often but forgotten until needed ..."
I may be (probably am ) "strange" in that I can "forget"/not notice two 3.625 inch to 4.25 inch closed knives in the same pocket.
(after 64 or so years of carrying such I got "used" to it? ... tho I do pat my pocket from time to time to make sure they are still there ... )

When I carry a small knife I get strange looks for patting my pocket every 3 to 5 minutes.

I am aware ether of these stockmans (or my Case 3318 stockman) could probably handle most - if not all - of my weekly knife tasks.
I still prefer a 3 7/8 to 4 5/8 inch closed stockman or Moose, and a 3.652 inch Canoe.
A Buck 110 or Old Timer 7OT, or a 5.25 inch two blade folding hunter on my belt, with or without a large stockman, moose or Canoe is still not out of the realm of possibility.

I may add the Mikov Fish Knife to me carry today. Stick it on the keyring with the SAK's & Flashlight/Torch.

Here are a few to add to the thread. I posted the Ohtas some years ago, but PhotoBarf-it did their dirty deed, so here they are again.

Drooling over those Ohtas.

I got this Kabar when I was about 10. The price was reduced because the kick was too short and the nail nick was inaccessible. My handle mod is rather savage, but I was just a kid.

I feel like a huge opportunity was missed by not naming one of these threads “The Peanut Gallery”…

It’s never too late. Start the thread, follow it with appropriate thread mergers, and Bob’s your uncle.

Not a thing wrong with that handle modification, not to my eyes anyway.

This thread has convinced me to buy/gift a Peanut for a real good/old friend for his next birthday. He's more white collar and less redneck than I am, but is a class dude and one of my oldest and dearest friends.

I love the concept of peanuts, but my fingers are too thug-like to enjoy them!!
Tony Bose made a small knife, and vowed he'd never make another!! R.I.P.
