Almost forgot Al Warren. I have never owned one from Mr. Warren but have heard good things here.
Also can't forget Bob Ham. His prices are very reasonable.
As for Ohta and Ty Montell, I enjoyed my knives from them so much that I have one on order with both right now. Got both for less than $1000! And I must say my last Montell was the sharpest custom knife out of the box next to my Murray Carter Gyuto. Not sure if that says much considering I don't own many customs. But it does say something compared to the slips i've owned/own and have handled.

How could we forget, Terry is one of the top three and my second favorite next to T.Bose. Have not seen much of his work in a long time, hope he's still making slips.

Ken Erickson is a member of this forum, and from the photos I have seen he does nice work.

Speaking of Dyed stag,This is a lockback,but you don't hear much about Daniel Warren of NC,but he makes a slip,too.Very high quality,at fair honest prices.The knives are set up for EDC,with satin and brushed finishes.This one is D-2,and some lucky forum member was lucky to get it off me.It was an experience,I'll be back Daniel...

Jess Horn also makes (made?) traditional slipjoints. Top 'o the line work.

Got to agree with the vote for P. J. Tomes. I have one of his lockback trappers and the stag he put on it is super. I love his flat grinds too. It all makes for a really clean overall look. The Tomes knife I got was used when I bought it (although it doesn't have a scratch on it) and I bought it for a song and dance. It's the only really nice custom I ever got for a really good price.
I can't believe I forgot to include him on my list.
