Eugene Shadley (he made the most perfect knife I own), Tony Bose (still waiting on a Dr's knife from him), Richard Rogers (best split backsprings I have seen), Baily Bradshaw.

I also like Dan Burke's work.

I recently got a beatiful 2 blade knife by Jess Horn, embellished by Barrett Smyth. The action and fit of everything is unbelievable and the bolsters are set with little diamonds. It's really a great piece.

I have several of Bailey Bradshaw knives that I am highly impressed with. One of which is a 5 bladed stockman that is 100% perfect. If you want to see the Bradshaws that I own go check out my web site.

You can't go wrong with a knife from Eugene Shadley, Dan Burke, or Richard Rogers. I also just got a new one from Bill Simons that I really like. I have knives on order from burke, Bose, Bose, Rogers, and Terry Davis. I collect other knives, but it is hard to beat a great multiblade slipjoint.

My favorites of this type are the "muskrats" and the "trappers". The best one I have actually handled so far, in my opinion, is the Case/Bose Millenium Trapper. I don't like it well enough to pay the stiff steep premium, however.

I also am a fan of that Case "Hobo".

I was reluctant for the longest time fall in with the locking-liner crowd. I have since switched becuase the this mechanism simply is superior in the final analysis.

This brings to mind what happened to the handgun world after the introduction of the "Wonder Nines". Beautiful well-executed revolvers are still revered, but nowhere near as popular. I think slipjoint folders have become the revolvers of the knife world, for better or worse.

Joel Chamblin makes some very nice slipjoints along with Rick Browne of Upland CA.That new "guy" Humenick from Calif is on the rise.i have a couple on order from him.
