Would you welcome a bigger boys knife?

As other have mentioned a "daddy" Barlow would be great. For me a larger boys knife would also fit the bill.
 
I think the size is fine now. An identical knife at 3 7/8 may or may not be something I would buy.
 
I don't think I would like a larger boys knife. The size it is now is a nice bridge beween the small jackknives like the peanut and mini copperhead, and the bigger trappers and folding hunters. The present boys knife rides in a pants pocket with hardly any notice. One of my requirements for a pocket knife. To be unnoticed until needed.

Sal Glesser made the point that the same design won't necessarily work in different sizes, either technically or aesthetically. I think the boy's knife's appeal is in its neat compact size, a bigger one wouldn't work so well, with its simple bare bones design, which looks so neat in the small size would look crude or boring in the larger size.

I still haven't decided whether this earns you this:

:D


I'd leave the #15 alone-- I like it as-is, and I've heard similar sentiments as this from other makers as well:

On the other hand, I'd be all over this:

No thank you,I find 3.5" to be perfect for bottom of the pocket carry & I don't carry anything longer unless it has a...

pocket clip.:eek: :rolleyes:
 
To be honest I like the 15 just as it is. What I'd like is a slightly longer knife, say in the 3 5/8" to 3 3/4" range that is also a 2-blade jack style, perhaps with a serpentine frame. Probably what I'm looking for is a Eureka Jack with a clip rather than spear main.

Hmm, I think the S&M Heritage jack looks pretty good.... Perhaps I just need one of those!
 
I'm not asking if you want GEC to make a bigger boys knife and stop making the current. Just asking if you'd like a bigger knife with similar shape and all.

A knife like the S&M Heritage jack made by GEC would be nice, in my opinion.
 
What I'd like to see is a 3 3/4" Swell Center (coke bottle) pattern. Basically a Pemberton on steroids.
