I'm considering a GEC25 jack in Appaloosa as they really look nice, and I love the wharncliff option. Some folks have described them as stubby, but my only frames of reference are saks, Texas Jack, and peanut. Does anyone have pics lined up next to a sak solder, case Texas jack, case peanut? Or can anyone describe the #25 in thickness, OAL, cutting edge in mm or inches, etc. so I can get an idea.

Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Cheers


Chris
 
Is this the 2 blade version or the EZ Open? I much prefer the latter,it's much sturdier than a Peanut, nice bone choice you are mooting.
 
gdtrfb.....

As you already know handle length is 3" blade length tip to bolster is 2 1/4 (+ -1/32") and width appears to be 7/16"

I don't visit here all that much and am not sure about the rules so I will not post a link, but over on the other forum in the slipjoint section there is a thread that has pictures of a #25 next to a case xx peanut.
 
Here are some pics of a Victorinox Alox Cadet (3.25" closed length) compared to a couple #25s. That's the closest I can get to what you asked for. There's the natural bone Tidioute "Easy Open", and the #25 Northfield UN-X-LD Barlow with a Wharncliffe main blade:

Thanks to all for the expeditious responses. The dimensions and pics are a good gauge to go off. While initially more interested to the pen and wharncliff option, I really like the slimmer profile of the single blade options and will start a search.
 
The single blade 25's are exceedingly pocket friendly. The Bulldog Brand (by GEC) single blade EZ-open is really special.
