My latest improvement on my "maximum minimalism" kit.
The humble LCP seems to compliment the Peanut rather well, in my opinion.

.22 magnum revolver there Stitch?
I really like the peanut's handle color and blade patina! (Also like the kit!)
Welcome. Looks like a trapper to me. Hard to say what brand. Handle looks to be 4 inches or so long. A peanut has a handle of 2 3/4 to 2 7/8 and a main blade of around 2 inches. Hope that helps.Just came across the "cult of the Peanut" yesterday...amazing 5-year thread with hundreds of photos and chats! I hope this is a place where I can get some help identifying one of my knives.
Don't know if this knife I have fits into the peanut category. Is the category based primarily on size? Or other components?
I've had this knife since I was a kid, and now no company markings at all are visible on either blade. One blade is 2-15/16" and the other is 3-1/4"; both measured from the bolster to the point. One of the photos shows overall length of open knife.
So I don't know the brand of knife or if it is a type of peanut. Sure does look like some of the peanuts posted.
As you might tell, I am a newbie to knives. Only been interested since last August 2016, and have started a small collection. As I write, I have a Buck 385 Toothpick being shipped to me. Wonder if that will fit the peanut category, too?
Thanks in advance for any help on what this old, black patina blade actually is.

Looks like a type of slimline trapper to me. Case makes a single blade version now, but I know I've seen old versions with two blades. Generally they're about 4 inches closed.
suffering from Blade Redundancy
Hi! Welcome! Peanuts are awesome knives. They are a particular knife pattern. Your new toothpick is its own pattern. Trappers and stockman knives are also patterns. Peanuts can be made from different materials, but most of them are recognizable in that they are quite small and have two blades in a jackknife configuration. All of my peanuts have a clip blade and a pen blade. Case makes a good peanut, but you'll see peanuts made by different companies, not just Case. I highly recommend getting a peanut and joining the Cult! [emoji4]

^^^ Much too large to be a peanut, which is 2-7/8" long closed.
Your welcome. The peanut is a small knife but very capable. It takes some getting used to it but it makes a great companion. Its my main carry knife.First, thanks for the welcome comments. Also thanks for the info on peanut size, configuration, etc., and your suggestions as to what my knife is. Not only do you folk know knives, but answer inquiries mega quickly! Much appreciated.
I didn't know that the two blades are in a jackknife configuration....interesting. Yes, my knife is 4" long closed, too. So without any identifying info on the blades, it sounds like it remains of unknown origin.
Also appreciated the encouragement to get a peanut and join the large group of loyal peanut fans. Just this morning I placed into a shopping cart a Case Yellow Delrin Peanut 80030 (3220 SS); now just doing a little more shopping/looking at some mini SAK multi-tools. Might add a SAK into the order. But I have had my eye on the Yellow Delrin Peanut for a while now and believe I will take the plunge. Reading through portions of the "cult of the peanut" thread, easy to see these knives are cool-looking. Thanks again. I'll be visiting and enjoying this thread in the days ahead....... Bozhidar
