The slip joint mechanism uses a simple spring to hold the blade in its opened and closed positions. As the knife pivots, the spring is displaced until it slips back into its resting position. A classic and minimal approach to a timeless design, the Studebaker Slip Joint will integrate effortlessly with your everyday carry, bringing a tangible connection to a long and fascinating history of metalcraft.
This initial offering is a limited release with textured scales and simple hallmarks while we give ourselves more time to perfect the artwork of the final edition. This item is pre-sale, and will have an extended lead time.
