I recently picked up this 4" version from 1972 that has some really nice bone. It reminds me of flames.

Just bought a 3-7/8" Queen Kentucky Bicentennial 'Texas Jack' with red Delrin handles and my two favored blades. Deleted sellers attached photos, added my own photo from a remote hosting site. OH

 

[Rsmith_77]

Definitely looks like a handy pattern to me!

My Queen "Texas Jack" arrived today. Great W&T, excellent condition for a 49 year old pocketknife, appears to have never been used. I love having a Sheepfoot secondary in lieu of the normally found Pen secondary. OH
Ps the moderately rounded bolsters give it a feel somewhere in between my Case 6347 and my Case 6292 - for carrying it would be just about "right".

Does Texas mean serpentine? It doesn't seem to mean particularly large.

When you read Levine he defines it as basically a 4” Moose pattern . I think Case liked the name and used it on some of their serpentine jacks and it grew from there. Like all knife patterns there seem to be strict and loose interpretations. OH

Long live the Texas Jack !
