When looking back at the history of pocket knives, no one can argue the significance of the classic slipjoint. An industry staple and, for many people, the gateway to higher-end knives, a slipjoint transports you back to a time when simplicity and reliability were paramount. 

Tactile Knife Co. is based in Texas, USA. You may be familiar with their sister company, Tactile Turn, who makes some of the best EDC pens money can buy. Harnessing their years of machining experience, the same people set out to make a "damn good knife," like the kind of knife grandpa used to carry: a hard-use tool that wasn't flashy, but clean and hard-working.
