Case Small Texas Jack length?

[jwren]

Hi all, I've been wanting to pick up a Case Small Texas Jack for awhile, but was wondering about the size. On the Case website the length is listed at 3 5/8, the same listed size as the Case Medium Jack (which I already have).
Are they really the same size?

Just got one, and am really pleased with it. I make folded size as 3 1/2.

Thanks for that, I figured it must be a typo - but it seems every site selling the knife has repeated the mistake.

The UK supplier mine came from has it listed as 3 5/8" also, but I've measured mine a dozen times now, and I still make it 3 1/2".

My 63032 stockman is listed as 3 5/8" also but actually measures at 3 1/5". It's made on the same frame as the 62032 Texas Jack.

I have noticed that people refer to the 62032 as both medium and small. The 63032 stockman is the same size closed (3-1/2") as the 62032 Texas jack. That's why I leave off "small" or "medium" when I speak of the "Texas jack". The larger one, the 6292, is the "large" Texas jack pretty much universally.

Anyway, that's how I manage to not confuse my own thinking of the 6232/62032 Texas jack.

Just remembered, that there is another pattern that Case is referred to as a Texas jack the 52087 pattern or 62087 for bone. It is listed at both 3-3/8" and 3-1/2" closed. But, it has rounded bolsters instead of the squared ones of the other two. It may actually use the same blades as the 62032 jack, but I am not sure about that.
