Thanks guys !!! Thank you.
Tyson, there is a very faint etch on the Peanut that has a Craftsman image and then the year 1927 ... so my GUESS is this Peanut is from 1977 !!! ... maybe tied to the 50th(?)
The etch is many years buried under patina on mine, but it said something like "50 years Craftsman 1927" or something like that. There was a black box with a fancy 50th anniversary logo on it too, but that's been gone for decades. That is a 1977 knife.
Everywhere I've looked says they were made by Schrade, and that makes a lot of sense to me . Mine is 45 years old (and the first ten or so seeing daily carry) and you still can't see the pivots in the bolsters - I'm pretty sure this was assembled using a Swindon key instead of a peened pivot.


A day late but this is the box and a quick picture of that etch.
