I like Peanuts - fine carrying knives, but that sway back really has my attention. That is a handsome knife.I have these two Case Chestnut CV knives with me this weekend! A Peanut and a SBJ that I rescued from the big auction site. The Peanut just this week and the SBJ probably three or four years ago.
Nice knives, Neal. That Queen is fascinating, with the embossed REGRIND blade stamp, the embossed reclining Q with crown and Titusville, PA tang stamp, hoof pick, and all.
Yes, it works surprisingly well: push the button and the blade flips out and locks. Press the button to unlock the blade. The slider below the button locks the opening mechanism to prevent inadvertent opening, such as in your pocket. I was given that knife and it is in the best shape of all that I have. Some of the others look good, but don't open as well (and I haven't taken them apart to repair).
Wow! That knife has some mileage on it!!
Each and every one of those knives is amazing, Tim!!The carries for the past couple days!

I'm going to single out the jigging on this R. Bose as being especially noteworthy! 
Best wishes for your South American quest!

Not more than I wanted to know, but definitely more than I hoped for!5K Qs GT, according to information I gathered from reference material by John Goins and Richard Langston, respectively, the Presto was made by the George Schrade Knife Company, Bridgeport, CT, a company founded and run by George Schrade from 1929 until his death on September 9, 1940 (his son, George, and grandson, Theodore, continued running it until selling it to Boker in 1956). George had founded the Press Button Knife company on New York City, NY, in 1893. The Presto is an automatic opener (switchblade) based on a push button "safety knife" that he developed in 1906 with his brothers, Jacob and William, at the Schrade Cutlery Company, Walden, NY. The M-2 Paratrooper shown is a Presto model sold to the U. S. military under a WWII contract. Probably more than you wanted to know.

Thanks for all the details, Stuart! Well, if O.G. means Old Guy, you've got quite an accurate mental picture, Chin!Cheers GT. Yes, that's a handy use for the bail as well, although reading your comment did give me a surreal image of you, sporting sagging chinos, chain hangin' from your belt to your pocketknife, swaggering through those halls of academia like an O.G.!

(Although my gait is more "stagger" than "swagger" these days!

Is that like a Pocket Pal without the small pen blade?SAK Excelsior

Great-looking knives, r8shell, but remember that they're both examples of invasive species!!
Cool photo, Gary!...I took this the other night while I was CF & CE the pinched peanut, in front of the boob tube. I'd spent some time honing the edge on a leather strop earlier.
Reminded me of an old Sunday School song: This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine!Unbeatable chestnut CV pair, Ron!! Congrats on the new Peanut!!I have these two Case Chestnut CV knives with me this weekend! A Peanut and a SBJ that I rescued from the big auction site. The Peanut just this week and the SBJ probably three or four years ago.
Terrific twosome, Dee!
I'll bet I can guess what day of the week it is. I admire the audacity of your sheepfoot TC, Dean, wandering among the bison!...
Today's carry, a difficult knife to leave home!
Very attractive knife, Paco!
Impressive pair, Tom!New phone so new camera, can’t tell if it is better or worse
I don't know if your new camera is better or worse, either, but to me, the stones look drier (not as shiny) and the knife blades look a bit "brighter"? (Don't pay much attention to me though; you've seen MY pics! )
), I've been using an Okapi Sable and a Case yeller CV pen knife:
Made in Chile, a mini version of a "Parronino" brand made by Gonzalo Castro (R.I.P.)More info here: El Huasito Parralino
