It a wee bit to small for my big hands. I will carry as a secondary but I can't just use it alone. I like something like a 1/2 larger with similar blades does it exist
Ps here's a piture of her

1/2 inch larger or 1/2 again as big?
My case copperhead is about a 1/2 inch bigger

I have a Case 22087 serpentine jack. It's about a half inch bigger than a peanut.
 
I don't have any decent pictures, it's a common knife though, so Google has plenty.
 
The Case 22087 Serpentine Jack is a slightly larger version of the Peanut, which is a mini-Serpentine Jack. It has the same rounded bolsters, pen-behind-the-main-blade configuration, and Clippoint-Pen configuration as the Peanut. It is 3-3/8" vs. the Peanut's 2-7/8".

 
Sounds like a serpentine jack is perfect, exactly 1/2" longer. But if you still want a really light and compact knife but with longer grip I would look into texas toothpicks on ebay, get a vintage one from a good company for cheap, fix it up, and it'll be hard to keep out of the pocket.

I think the OP wants to see comparison shots with a peanut.

As mentioned the Case 62087 has the pen behind the main like the peanut and will fit your hands better.

I don't have a 22087 jack but to give you somewhat of a comparison this 087 stockman is the exact same size.



Also, if you want to stick with Case, the 32087 pen may be worth looking at as well.

 
Whilst the GEC 66 is an excellent Jack-knife it is substantially bigger, thicker and heavier than the Peanut, so it's really another type of knife altogether. You could also opt for a 56 Dogleg Jack or a 68 White Owl single-spring as alternative.

But how about a Queen Cutlery Jack No.2? A bit bigger than a Peanut but still a small knife, picture is weak but it gives you an idea. Top Amber Carved Stag Bone, below, Winterbottom.

I really love the peanut for around town carry, but for me the sweet spot is 3 3/8" - 3 5/8" everything out of that range seems too big or too small (exceptions queen muskrat on the big side and case peanut).
So from current production I'll recommend you the 62032 Texas jack and from used market a case 6207 with pen secondary, I call it minitrapper jack.

I'm with Mateo, one of my favorite jackknives is the older Case 6207 - the Dogleg Jack - a perfect size EDC in my opinion. Case still makes the knife in the Mini-Trapper version - you get a Spey secondary instead of a Pen. In the group picture the Peanut is on top and the Dogleg Jack is on the bottom. Also shown is a 3" Schrade 12OT and a Colonial Dogleg jack. OH

How do you like the winterbottom? I have a stockman from that time frame and was wondering if they used cheaper steel like they used cheaper everything else?

I was surprised by how much difference in perceived size there is between a peanut and knives that I'd have thought were only marginally bigger, based on closed length. I thought that the old Imperial serpentine jack pictured below was an Imperial version of Case's Peanut until I actually got my hands on a peanut. The Imperial is only 1/4" longer than the peanut (3 1/8" versus 2 7/8" closed length), but I think the photo indicates a substantial difference in size.
