The Case Peanut is an excellent, excellent knife and an American classic. I have one in CV and yellow delrin, I might need to snag the chestnut bone

FowlerThank you for the compliment. The Chestnut bone family is one of our most popular, and as you correctly stated the Peanut is a particularly useful pattern. All the patterns included in this drop are absolute winners though!

CaseKnivesWhat steels do you use for the knives? I'm somewhat interested in the Sod Buster.

MaxeythemanThis particular family of knives features our Chrome Vanadium (CV) steel. It is a high carbon steel. The carbon makes the blade a little softer and easier to sharpen. You need to take good care of your CV blades with a light coat of oil periodically. CV is the original steel Case has used for most of it's production prior to Stainless Steel becoming popularized. Over time if treated properly this material will take on a beautiful gray patina.
Also, the Sod Buster Jr. is a great pattern. It was originally used by farmers, but has become a very utilitarian pattern. The large blade and solid handle makes for a great knife/tool. We only recently began putting bone handles on this classic pattern, but what a difference it makes. The Chestnut Bone handle scales on this family really lends additional richness to an already substantial knife.

FowlerYes - this is a nice line-up of some of my favorite Case models. Happy to see an offering with CV steel, which I prefer to stainless on these traditional blades. Wipe 'em dry, lightly oil, and enjoy the patina!
