Case did a run of shadow patterns back in 2001. The peanut was one of them. That one is the jewel of my peanut collection, and the only one that's a safe queen.
I'd buy several more if I could find them. I don't think they made very many, and as far as I know, that's the only time Case has ever made the peanut as a shadow pattern with bone scales. Too bad, because I think it's pretty cool.
Edit: I also have a single-bladed zytel peanut, which doesn't have bolsters either. Despite the horribly ugly camo print on the scales, I really like the knife. It weighs almost nothing, and because it doesn't have a pen blade, it's easy to pinch open. They make a version of the same knife with a pair of scissors, and from what I gather, Case can't make them fast enough. Even my local platinum dealer can't get them in stock. If Case makes versions of the single bladed, zytel peanut in solid colors, they will have a real winner on their hands.
It's funny...I was digging through a box looking for a copperhead this weekend and found a shadow peanut just you've got pictured. I didn't even know I had it.
