Best slip joint

As with nearly any "best" question, you're going to have to be quite a bit more specific to get useful answers (best build quality, best materials, best value, etc.).
 
If you really want to get the ball rolling about the "best" slip joints, post this question on the Traditional forum on this site. You will start an avalanche of information/opinions.

Who makes the best cup of soup?

Is this a question that can be answered?

Do you plan on EDC'ing the soup? Will it be for "hard use"? If so, I'd recommend Campbells Chunky. If it's for light around the house/office use then you can go with the Original Condensed (Chikin & Starz). ;)
 
Depends on what you like. My money goes towards GEC, queen and canal street cutlery. I still buy the occasional case but the other three are where I put the majority of my attention.

i beg to differ i believe that campbells clam chowder makes for a thicker, hardier soup then the chunky, why ive EDC'd mine for a whole year and it hasnt failed me yet
 
I regularly EDC a Queen and they've never let me down, and I don't baby them. D2 steel takes a good edge and holds it well, but they're a bear to sharpen.

Buck does a good job on the lower end of the price spectrum (the 30x series are wonderful knives) and their warranty is the best in the business.

There are a few Schrade Old Timers in my rotation that I feel confident could do anything I'd ever need a knife to do.

Just be careful when you start getting into traditional knives. If you think one handed tacticals are addictive, you haven't seen anything yet.
 
Case continues to make good knives.

There are a number of good ones mentioned already. I would add the Schatt & Morgan line

There are a few custom makers that are making affordable single blade knives as well.

Lots of good choices out there for traditional fans.

Buck, Great eastern cutlery, Queen, and Case are my favorite brands I've also heard great things about Canal Street Cutlery but I have no first hand experience with them.
 
Tony Bose makes the best Custom slippies

But then the best made production (or if you will, semi-custom in this case) are the Case/Bose collaborations that cone out years. Best slipjoints from a knife "manufacturer" current available

I like Case for how easy they are to get scary sharp,and I like BUCK silppies for their ruggedness.
