Small Pocket Knife, Big Problem - Nobody Talks About This
Published: 2 days ago
Everyone obsesses over big blades. But the best knife you can legally carry in the UK every single day might be the smallest one in the Case lineup — and most collectors walk right past it.
In this video I'm breaking down the Case Peanut — a compact two-blade slip joint that's been in continuous production since the early 1900s. Under £40, completely legal UK EDC, and absolutely brilliant in the hand. I'll cover the walk and talk, blade steel, UK carry legality, and how it stacks up against a vintage Sheffield equivalent at twice the price.
If you're looking for the best small pocket knife for everyday carry — this is the one nobody's talking about.
