i really like the this design (texas jack in cv), but abhor blade play. any opinions on these?
 
Mine was first class out of the box and still is over a year later.A fine combination, cv with Amber Bone. No blade wobble on mine or spring faults, just a very good Traditional knife. I wish CASE offered it in more scale choices (there is some foul lime green offering but that doesn't count in my book!)
 
It is a sweet little gem of a knife. I bought one several months ago and it has put all my other knives out of business. I'm a carpenter and the jack is up to all tasks--from sharpening my pencils to rounding the corners of LVL's so the fit snugly into hangers.
 
I really like mine. Excellent fit and finish with zero blade play. Easy on the pocket yet still big enough for most jobs.
 
I love mine -- it is the same size/shape as the square-bolstered medium stockman they offer in the amber bone/CV combo (which I also have.) I really like the size and shape of the pen blade on the Texas Jack. It is just a little beefier than the one on the stockman and is oh so handy. Mine has nice snap, no blade play, good fit and finish.
 
I have been looking at these for a long time. I like the two blade jack style. Can you pinch the large blade open with thumb and finger?
 
I love mine. No complaints. No blade wobble at all. nice fit and finish. I just wish it was SS instead of CV.

I understand:thumbup:

They are doing this lime green model in Trusharp I alluded to earlier. I like green, it's my favourite colour, but that shade:eek:
 
I really like mine. It is one of the best in it's class. I wrote a review on it. Maybe someone can dig it up for you.

God Bless

Heres a 10 dot that has been spendin time in my pocket for the last few months... I really haven't found anything to fault with this pattern, actually it has become one of my favorites.

The Texas jack is a hard working pattern of a tradtional two bladed jackknife. It should do anything another knife can do, if not better. CV is a great steel for a knife. With just a tiny bit of care, it should last long enough for it to be a valued item to your son.

I can't pinch mine open. I have big hands and there just isn't enough space to get a good hold...
Possibly if a person has very small hands they could.
As far as blade play is concerned, Most folks seem to have good reports on the currrent production knives from Case.

I have an old 1993 model in red bone and CV and a green bone in SS

The CV is much nicer, in my opinion.

For one with round bolsters, if you don't mind stainless, they have this one at Shepherd Hills Cutlery (there's also a stag version). The pen blade is longer and skinnier than on the Texas Jack:
