That box does indeed say Texas Jack. Never seen that name used for that knife before.

The boxes for the 22087 have been labeled Texas Jack for a while now. Could have been a mistake when they first set up the barcode label template that has never been corrected. Or maybe it's intentional, I don't know.

You can tell the Texas from the Medium Jacks despite any mistakes/"updates" in boxing or labeling because Texas Jacks have square bolsters. That's one of the defining features of the pattern.

Myself, I prefer rounded bolsters, so I'm more of a Medium Jack fan. Love yours, deltaboy!:thumbup: I have the same in Olive Bone.

This one went with me for a few years before I lost it. I have gotten a new one since I missed it. I like the pattern it is a good size for EDC in an office and consultant environment. It did help me prepare my meals at hotel rooms more than a few times.

Is that black Delrin or what? Don't recall seeing one in black. Nice!

It seems to be smooth black Delrin.

That black Case jack with the round bolsters is one good-looking pocket knife, deltaboy! :thumbup:
(I like that metal-handled Producers Grain knife, too.

This whole "controversy" about the medium jack having a box labelled "Texas Jack" is interesting. I agree with RobbW's post that a "classic" small Texas Jack has square bolsters (and a "beefy" pen blade). FWIW, I also agree with his preference for round bolsters.

FelineGirl has the obvious knife knut solution to the controversy: get one of each!

:thumbup:
Those are beauties, Alex!

(Sounds like ∂boy plans to do the same thing; hope you find a "genuine" Texas Jack soon, sir! :thumbup

My favorite Stockman is the 087 pattern, looking forward to getting a jack in the same pattern.

Thanks, GT! I have definitely become a knife knut! I really love that Medium Jack, which does in fact say Texas Jack on the box. I've been carrying that Medium Jack a lot lately. It's a great size in the pocket and has a bit more handle on it than my beloved Peanuts. I'm enjoying that extra handle length quite a bit. And, I'm rather liking the stainless as ground blades. I wish I had more as ground blades! I love cv, but it's kind of nice not having to worry about the stainless blades! The Medium Jack is a good value knife. It's pretty, and it's a Case! I recommend it!
