Case WR XX Pocket Knife Yellow Synthetic Peanut Cv Item #030 - (3220 Cv) - Length Closed: 2 7/8 Inches

This Case Peanut is a beautiful classic knife. When you hold it you really understand what design is - beauty, function and form. The machining is excellent, everything lines up, the materials are good, and the blades sharp.At 2 3/4" closed, the Peanut is similar to a classic small slip-blade pen knife, only the 2 blades (longer clip and smaller pen) are side-by-side rather than one on each end. This makes it a little bit thicker, but it's still very much a light, comfortable to carry loose in the pocket every day, knife. Both blades have 90 degree half-stops.The Peanut is sold with either "Chrome Vanadium" (carbon) or "Tru-Sharp surgical" (stainless) steel blades. The CV steel should take and hold a sharper edge (mine was very sharp out of the box and is holding it well), but will loose their luster and develop a light patina over time. Mine's doing pretty well - you only get minor graying around the tip and thumb-nail mark unless you use it to cut fruit. Cutting an apple caused some near immediate discoloration. However the luster came back with a bit of metal polish. Several months later, I bought my brother-in-law the SS version. It has a really nice blade with a great edge - sharpest SS pocket knife blade I've seen out of the box. Given the quality of Case's stainless, I'd lean towards it.The Peanut is sold in a number of handle materials / colors including synthetic, bone, stag, corelon, and mother of pearl. The handle material you choose affects the price greatly. Yellow Synthetic is a popular lower cost option that provides good looks, durability and value. It is solid and quite hard (like Corian, not plastic) and very resistant to dings. The color is a soft lemon cream that looks really nice against the polished silver / nickel bolsters (to me at least). The brass side rivets are flush and all seams are smooth to the touch. I really like it and would choose it again.Not much to add. It's a well made, well written up, elegantly designed classic little knife. There's a reason Case has such a following. This is about my 20th pocket knife but my first Case. It is something special and doesn't have a crazy price tag. It's become one of my couple favorites.

Needed a replacement for the one I lost. The peanut is my favorite EDC pocket knife. Small enough to not feel in your pocket but blades are enough to do about anything I need to do on a daily basis. The CV steel is my absolute favorite. Sharpens really easy and patinas beautifully.

My Case Peanut came in the mail today and I am very happy with it. The quality is above most other brands that I've tried over my lifetime. I will be using mine for daily carry which is why I chose the yellow handle and Chrome Vanadium blades (for easy sharpening). As I look over my new peanut knife, I can't find a single defect or flaw - it's polished shiny and smooth and the blades open and close responsively. In the open position, the blades are firm with no wiggle whatsoever and they close back with a decisive "snap" aka; the knife "talks." Long story short, mine came to me absolutely perfect.

Love this knife and all case knives

Mine came today. Nice knife. Good quality. But I am disappointed that it isn’t very sharp out of the box.

For years I carried a tiny Swiss Army knife on my keychain and used it all the time for small duties like opening packages, trimming rope, cords, string, etc. But it finally got to the point that it needed replacement. Since I almost never used anything but the main blade, I thought something slightly larger might prove even more useful. This Case Peanut fits nicely in the change or watch pocket of jeans, where's it's handy for those same jobs and the larger blade gives it added utility. This is a finely crafted little instrument. The fit and finish are flawless. The blades are razor sharp and lock firmly into position. I really like the traditional look with the pale yellow handles. Everything about this knife says quality.

I always wanted to get a Case xx knife & I'm very pleased with it. I'm definitely going to get a few more for different uses. If it's not USA made I don't want it!

I've had many different pocket knives in my life but for the money, Case knives just can't be best. Some folks get upset when they buy the chrome vanadium blades, thinking they are stainless but in fact, even with the chrome in the steel these will discolor and rust if abused, so just lightly oil them after wiping them off after use. Plus the CV steel is easy to resharpen. The Peanut is a small knife but performs like a champ.
