Hey Guys,

I am looking to get my grandfather a new pocket knife for his birthday and would like to get him something you can't just buy off the shelf. Are there still any Custom knife makers that make slip-joints?
 
Yes, there are still custom makers, many have dedicated threads on this site. How far off is his birthday? Many makers have long wait times so you may want to check the Exchange for makers (names in Orange) who post their knives there or in the traditional or custom section for second hand ones. There are also dealers (names in Green) here with custom knives in stock.
 
I am aware of how the forum and exchange system works, was curious if there were any who only make the older style knives. I've spent a fair enough time in the exchange but haven't found any full custom slip joints
 
There are so many custom makers for slip joints. Quite a few and many of them are very affordable compared to custom modern folders, yet still have the same quality. T.A. Davison, kc custom…. and a whole lot more. I think I have about 5 or 6 just in my contacts on my phone. Check the knife dealers as some also will have some different makers in stock.

There is a nice custom in the Knife Exchange for sale by Individuals,right now .Its been there for a few days.Muskrat pattern
 
I am now closing the thread as I feel you now have all the answers you need. And we don't need this to become a sales thread.
