(A) Are you supposed to measure from the blade tip to the place where the cutting edge ends?
or
(B) Are you supposed to measure from the tip of the blade to where the blade meets the handle?
Example:
[*] If I measure a pocket knife as in method A, it is 2 & 13/16 inches long.
[*] If I measure it as in method B, it is 3 & 1/4 inches long.
[*] That's a difference of 3/8ths of an inch.
The reason I want to know is, if I am shopping for a new knife, I want to understand the dimensions stated on the package. I wouldn't like to buy one, get it home, open up the package, and find out it is shorter or longer than what I would prefer.
