Anyone likeminded have suggestions or experience they care to share?

For traditional factory slipjoint style as suggested by your original post:


For USA made GEC is the ticket as discussed above. Check out "Tidioute Cutlery", they are GEC made. Great bargain for a quality knife.

That said, LionSteel knives in Italy is making probably the baddest ass classic folders in M390 for a super price...just awesome...

Also, if looking for something a little different:

Pena X series Trapper - the best take on a modern slippie out there!

And, my favorite slip joint of all time: Manly Wasp S90V...simple spectacular!

You can no more tell someone how to do something you've never done, than you can come back from somewhere you've never been...
