Just ordered a midnight jack,and I think jack wolf knives is doing something awesome for slip joints in the premium knife category

[@rockymountainlockpicker9606]

Great Esstern Cutlery, lionsteel, case in that order.

I recently created a video titled “I’m no longer collecting high end knives”. I’m done spending stupid money on a traditional knife that can do most of what a $300 plus knife can do. People are broke today and have to save their money. Great video.

[@yankee2yankee216]

$300+ knives can do just about anything a $25 knife will do, sometimes more… So why would you want to stop collecting them? I myself own about 70 modern pocket knives (no traditional ones, although the new ones also belong to that tradition), with an average price of over $200. The expensive ones are, for the most part, much better than the cheap ones.

[@yankee2yankee216]

One other thing, although harder to sell, expensive knives hold their value better. Some of the knives I bought 3 years ago, and which have been discontinued, now sell for about 2X as much as I paid. I see great knives that were released 5+ years ago, bringing 3X what they sold for originally. It’s like with cars (except that they don’t rust), the costly ones are well cared for, and their value lasts (and even appreciates, eventually, when they become hard to find), while the cheap ones are abused, and not maintained, and they will never be worth much. Which is not to say there are not quite a few very good cheap knives, but the costly ones are usually better. Surprised? I don’t think so.

[@epicsasquatch452]

One of the slip joints I like the most is the buck 303 cadet (don't call me old, I'm only 20 years old). I like mine because even though it doesn't have a half stop, it has a good sized unsharpened portion that I can choke up on so the main blade can't close on my fingers. Plus if anybody here misses American schrades or old sears craftsman knives, the buck 303 cadet and 301 stockman is still produced in Bucks American factory and they both have textured nylon handles that are almost the same as those 2, plus throw in a few extra bucks and you can get some with wooden handles.

[@charlieoverby9253]

I absolutely love a modern slip joint! These knives are so freaking sweet and easy to carry and keep sharp. Like the guys said not intimidating like other types of kinives and welcome in most countries. Love the video. Keep passing on the good information guys!

[@popsforgeblacksmithing]

Slipjoints we're never out of style, too many folks are just into moderns. The slipjoint market is insane constantly

[@billhenderson8014]

Great video, I don't carry slip joint normally but my favorite in my collection is Schatt & Morgan sway belly. It's a beautiful knife

[@TheClipPoint]

Very nice!! A slip joint is a great little knife to carry in mixed company. You never know how someone might react to a full-sized pocket knife. Thanks for checking out the video!

[@MrDarineugene]

Great job guys! Just added a new slip joint to my collection. Lionsteel Thrill. It is just beautiful!

[@TheClipPoint]

Very nice!! Looking forward to seeing it. Another example of a modern company putting their spin on a slip joint! Thanks for watching!!

[@najidrafee5889]

Wow. I just got the BestMan 2. I really love it so much I even hold it in my hand when I sleep.

[@LarryReynolds591]

I've recently got into the EDC/knife carry world. I bought a few "modern" knives but have just come back to the slipjoint. I like it because it's non-threathening and it reminds me of my dad and grandpa. Just picked up an old Case amber jigged bone stockman from Ebay that looks exactly like my dad's.

[@JorvikBerserkir]

These are huge in the UK since they are legal (unless they are over 3 inches, size doesn't matter though, it's how you use it). Thinking about how the gov has banned a tool that has been around since before modern humans is disturbingly hilarious

[@JoelHunterGun]

Just got my hands on two Gladstone, MI made Marbles slip jonts made by Queen (Parts made by Queen. Put together in Gladstone) and OMG they are a sight to behold. I'm so glad SMKW has brought back Queen to the USA. I'd like to see more options right now though.

[@ianrosie4431]

Great vid. Something you might like to add if you do a future showcase on slipjoints is that you operate them differently to say lock knives. I'd recommend a Taylor Eye Witness Barlow. For around 30 dollars you will have a knife that will outlast you and with it's heavy pull weight is childproof, if that's what you need. Slipjoints are not to be messed around with by the uninitiated. Thanks.

[@Molonlabe07]

I really need to get a one. Great video again guys.

[@TheClipPoint]

Thanks for watching! Having a Slip Joint is one of those knives that you don't realize you needed until you have it. Definitely pick one up. Maybe one of the Real Steel Luna Lites?

[@Molonlabe07]

@@TheClipPoint I've got my eye on a boker, it's the castle burg trapper.

[@TheClipPoint]

@@Molonlabe07 That’s a really great looking knife!

[@daviddalton8996]

My favorite slip joint is the Sod Buster Jr. Nice size for a pocket knife and the blade is the perfect shape for anything I would do with a pocket knife.

[@bruceswearingen7718]

I EDC a Benchmade proper G10 & a ZT carbon fiber 0452cf

[@tecnotrog1]

Grew up with slip joints and I carry a SAK SPARTAN daily, never leave the house without it. But I may combine it with either a QSP Parrot or a Spyderco delica four.

[@catmandu6776]

Man I'd love to start seeing some good lockbacks in that modern classic flavor!

[@thaknobodi]

Case CV knives make my favorite edc for slipjoints. I would say GEC, the Bullnose i had was very good, but price wise, and ease of pull wise, case is good.

[@tennesseebear9798]

I grew up using slip joint knoves, my dad had them, my uncles had them, ganddad had them and i liked them (still do) just fine, then i started using locking blade knives. The one day I went to use a slip joint knife and found myself a little concerned the blade would shut on my fingers. I still use them, but it did give me pause to realize that difference. Now mind you in my life that may have happened only once or twice or when i was doing something with the knife I probably shouldn't have been but still I think about it.

[@TheClipPoint]

Exactly!! That’s part of the nostalgia of a slip joint. I feel like most people have a story like that. I also believe that a slip joint is the best knife to learn on. Slip joints teach you to respect the tool and give you the concern of potential injury. That’s something a lock blade could never teach!

[@johnkeck1025]

I like that case bear head trapper.. I carry a case amber bone trapper and a large griptilian..

[@Niegocki28]

I highly recommend the American service knife from Greg Medford. Been carrying one for a couple months and love it

[@Roland_4012]

I would like to see a Luna with those nice red scales but with the blade and hardware completely blacked out.

[@conabot]

One of the best slip joints to have is the Spyderco UKPK imo. It is safe to use because of the way they did the jimping. It is one hand opening but still not intimidating in any way. Also the built quality is top notch (as expected from a Golden, Colorado Spyderco knife). I think much of the come back of slip joints comes from people living in countries with more strict knife laws than the US. In most places in Western Europe you cannot carry locking knifes, so slip joints are the way to go.

[@BuffaloNickel9]

Guy on the right had a slipjoint-n-fall got paint all over his arms... Jfwu good vid new sub

[@billyjohnson2495]

Yes they are making a comeback.

[@Apex_grind562]

I am really trying to like rhe slipjoint. I guess for travel purposes.

[@tecnotrog1]

Oh and I subscribed 😁 🦉

[@hugolippold]

It might be just me. But I don't like cheap modern knives. Gas station knives sub 30 dollars..... meh. However cheap traditionals. Love em. Myself I Got an alox pioneer X, a buck 110 and a really big beefy woodenhandle slipjoint from Herder. Still dreamin' bout the stockman amber bone large from case. Gotta save some money Love knives too much haha

[@billyjohnson2495]

Slipjoints and mutch classier.

[@AnAmericanFather]

90% of the guys collecting knives don’t use them in any significant way. What do they need a lock for??

[@benedeklaszlo8740]

Slip joints are coming back because of the law especially here in the uk ! You need to say that….😂

[@timpardoe7623]

UK can only have slip joints as any type of lock is illegal

[@folksurvival]

Depends.

[@yankee2yankee216]

I think they must be (coming back that is). With all the different laws governing knife possession and carry, and the increases in traveling in modern America, some of us want SOME knives that can pretty well go anywhere, without risking a jail sentence. The truth is, they work fine for most tasks. All those locks and flippers are, strictly speaking, unnecessary for most jobs.
