Definition of a "slip joint knife"?
Until recently I had never heard the term "slip joint knife". At first I thought it must be a type of knife that opened differently than a standard pocket knife. From my own research I think I have learned that it is just another term for a non locking folding knife. Is that correct or is there some difference between the two?

Yep. Non-locking folding knife. It's an old timey term.

Another one to consider is "Jack" knife--not all slip joint folders are Jackknives!
