This lot features a group of three knives including a limited edition advertising commemorative and two fixed-blade utility knives. The primary item is a Case Trapper pattern folding pocket knife produced for Planters Peanuts. The knife features two blades: a clip point blade etched with the year 1995 and a yellow and black illustration of Mr. Peanut, and a spey blade etched with the text PLANTERS PEANUTS and FRESH ROASTED SINCE 1906. The handle is constructed of yellow synthetic material featuring a blue and yellow circular shield reading PLANTERS PEANUTS around a peanut symbol. The nickel silver bolster is stamped with CASE inside an oval. This knife is housed in its original blue velvet-lined presentation case with an interior lid printed Limited Edition and a matching cardboard insert.
The second item is a Smith & Wesson Outback fixed-blade kukri-style machete. The curved blade features a matte black coating and is laser-etched with the Smith & Wesson logo, Smith & Wesson, and OUTBACK in a stylized font. The handle is made of black textured synthetic material with finger grooves and a brass-lined lanyard hole. It is accompanied by its original heavy-duty black nylon sheath featuring a Smith & Wesson OUTBACK patch.
The third item is a fixed-blade diving knife featuring a polished stainless steel clip point blade. The blade is marked 18 Stainless STEEL on one side. The spine is fully serrated, and the primary edge is partially serrated near the hilt. The handle is black ribbed plastic with a large metal pommel cap. It includes a molded black plastic sheath with a circular logo containing a stylized marine figure and integrated belt loops.
Condition report:
The Case Planters Peanuts knife appears to be in excellent, unused condition with no visible wear to the blades or handle (photo 7, 8). The presentation case is intact with no visible staining or damage. The Smith & Wesson Outback kukri shows signs of light use with minor scuffs to the black blade coating (photo 2) and light dust accumulation on the rubberized handle (photo 3). The diving knife exhibits signs of heavy use, including significant scratches across the blade surfaces, oxidation on the steel near the hilt, and visible wear and light rust on the metal pommel cap (photo 5, 6). The diving knife sheath shows surface scuffing consistent with field use.
