All About Pocket Knives

I have a couple of nuts but no pics except of this Queen

Here's a Keen Kutter for you, 2 7/8" in Cracked Ice.

Redrider that KK pile is starting to look serious.

I like cracked ice even though it scares me a little.

I'm with Phil, I like that KK.

I like the saber ground main on that KK.

Nice additons .... is that Queen handle red delrin or celluloid?

That KK saber ground is cool - hard not to like a saber ground blade

Cracked ice like all celluloid scares me too Phil - but cracked ice especially when I am out on a lake ice fishing

The Queen is delrin near as I can figure, was made in the 90's. I think there was a set of knives Queen had handled with the red delrin, I've seen other patterns on ebay from time to time.

Thanks, Dan! It is fitting that you responded, yours was the last post in this thread (until now) back in 2015!

Better hide that from this bunch of elephants and monkeys. Who can resist a peanut.

Ike - great photo and Case. I do not recall ever seeing this thread until you brought it back to life after almost eleven years.

Nice old knives, Ridgegrass.

Has anyone else noticed how the average frame for the average Peanut has changed over the last fifty years? The old ones had a more slender profile, I would even call it skinny. Here are two older Peanuts and two newer ones. Top to bottom: Camillus, Schrade, Case, Bear. The Case and the Bear are the newer knives, of course. As best I can tell, Case is the company that created, or popularized, the new look. Personally, I like the new shape a lot better. It looks more ... muscular?

I like that Schrade all day long.

Nice group of knives.

JO'.

I did not notice that, Ike.
Nice peanuts Ridgegrass and Mel. I had not noticed the difference in frame shape so much as the change in hafting, especially in Case knives. The older peanuts were hafted slimmer and closer to the liners, whereas the newer Case are more blocky, with flat edges along the liners.

Two Queen peanuts......

A VERY NICE pair of Queens, Dimitri.

Lovely pair of Queens, Dimitri, looks like a winning hand to me!
Here are the only 3 peanuts I have left: A Utica Kutmaster, Case and a Schrade made Keen Kutter.
