What would be the next step up in size from the case peanut?

[Obsessed with Edges]

Right and wrong. It is indeed the 22087, but according to the box, it's the Texas Jack. The two above it are small Texas Jacks. Like I said, they need to get their act together.

I'd based my description of it on that of a popular (and exclusively) Case vendor's description. I'd always assumed a Texas Jack to have square bolsters (from Case, anyway), so I wonder if Case did mis-label that box. Here's a pic of what the same vendor calls a 'Texas Jack' (62032 CV pattern) from the same page on their site:

And, oddly enough, the same vendor's page also shows another '032 pattern in stag (52032 CV), which they call a 'Medium Jack'. Same knife pattern, different handles; one's 'Texas', the other isn't. Clear as mud...

Edit:
Looking at Case's own 'Case College' site description of patterns, they call the '087 a 'Medium Jack' and the '92 and '032 patterns are described as 'Texas Jack' (large and small versions, both square-bolstered).

And the more you look, the murkier it gets. If it was a labeling mistake, it was a whole batch of them they mislabled. Whatever you call it, it seems to be about a size larger than a peanut, or about the smallest thing I find useable.

The Gec #25 Barlows and Ez-Opens are right at 3 inches closed. Only 1/8 inch longer than a peanut but the wider handles and blades make that 1/8 inch feel much bigger.

Mine said the same thing. And here I thought mine was just in the wrong box.

The '032 pattern is a serpentine handle that, in 2-blade versions, is either called the Small Texas Jack or the Medium Jack. It is also available in 3- blade versions and called a Medium Stockman. Since everything is bigger in Texas, a "small Texas" anything is a "Medium" anywhere else.

The regular Texas Jack was the '92 pattern, was 4" long closed, and is not currently in production.
