Pen:
The name pen is
shared by many knives. As a general rule, it describes any double ended
knife that measures less than 3 1/2" closed. Some pens include the
senator or equal end pen, the sleeveboard pen, and the premium pen.
Senator pens are those with a perfectly oval shaped handle. Sleeveboard
pens have a handle that tapers to a narrower rear. Premium pen knives are
generally classified as pen knives that share the pattern number with a stockman knife. This is of course subject to argument, but most collectors
categorize pens in this manner.

Regular Jack Knives:
Regular jack knives are single or two-blade single end knives that do not have a
distinct name for themselves. These are very stout knives that make
excellent working knives, but are not usually the most desired by collectors. Many
of these knives are known as teardrop jacks or swell end jacks because the rear
of the knife is wider than the front. The 99 pattern is the most collectable. Other patterns include the 14, 31, and 35.

Serpentine Knife:
Many knives include the name serpentine. There are
serpentine jack knives, serpentine stockman knives, and serpentine pen knives.
The term simply describes the shape of the handle. They generally have an
s curve, much like a snake or serpent (hence the name). Click
here for illustration. If you hear a knife described as a
serpentine pen, it will more likely than not be a premium pen. The same
goes for serpentine jack knives as they are often synonymous with premium
jack knives. Almost all stockman knives have at least a slight s shape, so
can be referred to as a serpentine stockman or stock knife.

Stockman: Also referred to as stock knives or premium stock knives.
Stockman knives are said to have originated from the
cattleman's knife. They are similar in character, but are a bit less
bulky. They always have at least two back-springs that support at
least three blades. Some stockman knives have been manufactured with four
and five blades, with the five blade versions having three springs. Case
has manufactured a large variety of stockman knives each of different size and/or
shape. The seven most popular patterns and the ones shown below are the 18,
27, 32, 33, 44, 47, 75, 087, and 92. Most stockman knives have a clip master blade along with a second and third blade consisting of one of the following: sheepsfoot, spey, pen, or punch. You will usually
find that the smaller versions often have a clip, sheepfoot and pen blade, or
clip spey and pen blade.
