Carl---You have started something here---You better back off!!!! or you will have the price of peanuts like the price of Gold. LOL. I have quite a few peanuts that I carry along with my stockman's and Buck 301, and 110's. I like to mix it up.

I'm with Peter on that JatMat. I love those custom single blade versions. Superb!!!

This one particularly floats my boat!

Peter:

That Alsdorf peanut is pretty special too.

And this photo is worthy of wallpaper status:

Jim, who made this peanut? I love it!

That one is by Don Morrow. I love his file work. Here is one by Bret Dowell, no file work, but the spline is seamless.

For years I called this a peanut, in fact, argued with some on this forum about the name. I checked the purchase paperwork and it is a "Peanittler" by Bob Cargill. I talked with Bob within the past couple of years and he told me he made less than 5 of this pattern. He has one. Don't know who has the others.
I paid 125 for it.

Just a little update. One thing that concerned me about the peanut is it slipping you of my pocket due to its small size. I remember reading on this forum somewhere that someone suggest stuffing a handkerchief down in you pocket, on top of the knife to keep it from slipping out. Well, I picked up a couple today, stuffed one in my pocket, and now, not only did I add a useful item to my daily carry, but I also feel confident that the peanut isn't going anywhere.

I wear jeans, the peanut feels very much at home in the watch pocket, never lost one yet. Even when I am laid out flat from exhaustion as I was today, flat on my back in the driveway. The peanut kept me from making yet another trip to the shop when repairing a head of the sprinkler system. Don't have a picture of it, just opened it today. A stanley (made in china) but shaving sharp right out of the package.

I do not have a shot of the spline, but it is good, considering the equipment he had then. Thanks for the compliment.

The watch/change pocket really should be known as the knife pocket. Great for small knives, and I've never had one fall out of there.
 
The peanut is a great little knife, it will do many chores. Not only that but a judge would laugh the prosecuter out of court calling it a weapon.

Wow, Ed likes peanuts!

I wonder if having a well known bladesmith checking in on a peanut thread is like one of the Petty's telling you he likes your car?:D

Carl.
 
The Peanut is a classic.

Most folks, however, don't realize just how versatile these little knives are.
