The standard size of the originals was about 4 1/4"-4 3/8" long. The largest was about 4 5/8" long, IIRC -- considering their size, and that many had iron bolsters, you've got a chunk (though they typically have a single spring, so are slimmer than you might expect).

They don't do well for detail work when you're whittling, but mine have tackled some pretty tough work successfully. They are a bit much when you carry more than three at a time, though.
