The definition is similar to that of it's use in Civil Engineering where a slipjoint uses a tongue and groove method........in the case of a knife the slipjoint is comprised of the backspring and a cutout in the blade tang.All slipjoint knives employ a backspring(s) that stay in full contact of the blade tang at all times. Under tension against the tang keeps the blade(s) in the closed or open postion. The tangs on such knives are usually rounded with a cutout/joint that runs parallel to the blade spine. When the blade is opened the tang cams off of the backspring until it reaches this cutout/joint/groove, at which time the backspring engages, or slips, into this cutout/joint/groove and holds the blade open under spring tension.The majority of folding pocketknives from CASE, Queen Cutlery (Schatt & Morgan - Robeson), Bulldog, Henckels, Hen & Rooster, Fightin' Rooster, Rough Rider, Eye Brand, Moore Maker.....to name a few.....are slipjoints."</a></p> Another one to consider is "J…tag:iknifecollector.com,2016-03-11:3181080:Comment:14038292016-03-11T20:20:10.113ZShlomo ben Mavedhttps://iknifecollector.com/profile/ShlomobenMaved
