Ratbert, that's a nice looking knife, but you really need to put a decent edge on those blades.

LOL...definitely not the factory edge! I wish I could take credit for it, but that is some of Rob Bixby’s stellar work. It slices like nobody’s business!

I think you could slice atoms with it!

Just snatched this guy up off the interwebs. Long story short, I snatched up a new (2017 tang stamped) Chestnut bone Peanut after seeing some of the amazing threads around here about them, thinking that I would attempt to pocket carry it as often as I can starting the day my Son is born. I got one in that was a 2016 model and then sourced a 2017 and sold the other. Anyways, I wasnt sold on the size of the Peanut but was enamored by the stories of its abilities so I looked for a slightly bigger knife of similar ability to ride with the 'nut and came up with this 62087.


It was advertised as being new, never sharpened and I cant say otherwise. I oiled it up, scrubbed it down and dropped it in my pocket today to see how we get along. I cant stop staring at it BUT, like posted elsewhere...Im having a bit of a dilemma. Its almost...TOO nice. I dont own shelf/drawer queens. I love a pretty knife, but love a pretty knife thats been used and has been faithful even more. Patina, smoothed handles and the adventures that go along with it are more important to me so I have to decide, toss it in the pocket and let its life start now or sell it on to someone who might rather look at it and find another. Im leaning towards saying heck with it and making it a loved and cherished user...and I have an apple with me today that would get the party started nicely!

Use that 87.. It sure is purty though!! John

 

[MerryMadMonk]

Or get another 87...... use one and keep the other one purdy

It's a great pattern, one of my favorites.

Yes Im lovin it so far. Im used to slightly bigger single blades but this little guy has held its own. Did a TON of work setting up for Halloween and only slowed me down once but it was a biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiig task to ask of it and the factory edge isnt the best. I will be touching that up shortly now that its been in my pocket a couple days. Man I love both knives pictures, the bright polished bolsters and crisp jigging is to die for but the pocket worn bone and time tested and trues patina on the other is equally gorgeous.

All I can say is WOW !!!!!!!!!!

 

[Bugdoc]

My only Case:

IB, that's got a nice color to it esp. at the bolster! It appears to be sawn on one half only... are my eyes playing tricks?

No Bugdoc, your eyesight's fine. The upper part of the cover on that side is slanted, so the saw marks didn't hit that part. The other side is worn, but has the saw marks. It's still tight & still sharp. I like it!

Haven't seen that before. Very cool!
