I noticed something when I aligned these three open folders handle right justified vs handle left justified:
The blade length on the 422 and the 424 are almost the same. They differ by only 3/16". The 422 blade is 2 15/16" while the smaller 424 blade is 2 12/16". The 424 looks so much smaller than the 422 because of the difference in the size of handle length (422 is 4 1/4" vs 424 3 3/4"), width & thickness.
Handles aligned on their right end in order to highlight handle size differences:
Handles aligned on their pivot end to show blade length similarity between 422 & 424:
The lighting, flash vs ambient light, sure changes the orange color showing in the pics.
I carry a 424 every day in my RFP. Don't ever notice that it is there unless I pocket my hand.
I never realized how close in blade length the 424 was to the 422. Huh.
Notice that the 424 has a drop point blade and it lacks the nail nick.
The 426 and 422 both sport clip point style blades along with prominent nail nicks.
