Two months ago today it arrived... And it's been in my pocket every moment since.

Your fondness for this very well made, yet, economical knife certainly drives home the point to not overlook some of the less expensive and/or basic knives. I know that you have some much fancier and more expensive knives - those ebony GEC's and the blood red RJ of yours come to mind ;) - yet, you obviously think highly of this knife.

That very old Cattaraugus of mine, with the beautiful jigged bone and naturally patinaed blades is my favorite knife and it did not cost me a whole lot of money - yet I have such a great fondness for it - much greater than some of my more expensive knives. :thumbup:;):)



Also - two much different pairs of knives posted by Jack and Gary - both pairs are beauties to my eye.:thumbup:;)

I just find the Peanut to be a classic little knife. I find it's 100+/- year history nostalgic and fascinating - a Case knife is as traditional as it gets! The yellow delrin has been a very pleasant surprise also, I like the retro look and find that I also like the feel of it in hand - very smooth and pleasant to the touch. On this Peanut the blades are perfectly centered, their walk/talk is perfect and it came stupid-sharp right out of the box. It's a very well made little pocket knife FOR UNDER $30!! I've found no flaws in it whatsoever. It drops into the watch pocket with ease and goes unnoticed until needed.

In a way the Peanut is sort of the .22 rimfire of pocket knives - tiny compared to other choices but yet it performs respectably for it's size - no frills and no big fanfare, it just WORKS. Some folks may chuckle at it as being in the "cute, but get a real knife" category, but in reality I've found it be a great companion and fully capable for a huge percentage of what I need a pocket knife for. :)

I think it is, but, I have no authority. :D I think it is really a beautiful piece and the leather is nice as well. Would love to know more. :thumbup:;)

Well, at your wish! :)
It is friction folder made by Michael Morris. He makes the blades from old metal files that get re-heat treated.
By googling and moogling for his knives, I get the more traditional shaped blades and handles but this "straight forward" model caught my eye and I had to get one. I guess it's kind of same as with NES controller from 80's, with simple clean lines. :)
 
These two from Jerry Halfrich have been a staple the last few days as we are getting ready to open our new business,
