The terrorist meth-head bear gangs will attack en masse, now that you have let your guard down.
Steely, welcome aboard! The Peanut IS a reality check. I always feel obligated to carry bigger and longer blades just because I own them, but the reality is that in my daily life and with the line of work I'm in, I almost never need more than the Peanut. They're great little knives. Yours looks fantastic.
suffering from Blade Redundancy
In an internet world with thread after thread about bringing enough knife/gun for bears and roving meth gangs and terrorists, the Peanut is a nice comfortable reality check. I'm really excited to join the cult.
Why has Case not put out more Peanuts with a bail or lanyard hole? I would love a Peanut with a bail... It just seems like something that I wouldn't be alone in wanting.
Ben, great to see the Peanut in action outdoors!
Ranchman, you're right on all points; the Peanut is a perfect companion. It also is the best suit knife I've carried (although my Dragonfly does make its way into my dress pants pocket once in a while too). After perusing your thread on your Amberbone Large Stockman, I'm itching for one.
suffering from Blade Redundancy
Ben, that is the sixty-four thousand dollar question, as Groucho would say.
If Case would bring out peanuts with a bail, I'd carry one or two, even if I had to mod the blade tang so I could open it easily!!!!
I finally got around to modifying the pen into a wharncliffe tonight.
I've been wanting to do it ever since I saw r8shel's peanut a while back. I was originally wanting to pick up a delrin nut to practice on, but I got impatient.
I'm pretty pleased with the result. The straight edge stops juuuuust shy of the tip and that kind of bugs me. I didn't want to remove any more of the blade so I figured I would stop while I still had a somewhat full blade. I also accidentally removed the sharpening notch. But other than those two things I'm happy.
It definitely needed the mod because the peanut was starting to feel a little stale. This reprofile should renew my interest in the little nut, though.
