Title pretty much says it all.
I like the style of Moore Maker's but they're made all over.

Any suggestions?

TIA

Since you didn't have a price limit, let me suggest you Google Bill Ruple, Bobby House and the South Texas Slipjoint Cartel. A buddy of mine won a Bobby House knife at a CCA banquet a few years ago and it came with a band aid.

Depends on budget. There arent any cheap moore maker type production pocket knives made in texas. The closest thing from a neighboring state would be Smith and Sons from Louisiana(not cheap but not full custom price either).

In texas there are tons of great custom makers. The lowest priced ones i know of are from Bob Jankowski out of Burleson. From a couple hundred for his you can go up to many thousands from the high end guys.

What's the budget and what style you looking for?

If those guys are busy, I can get you in touch with Toby Hill here in Pleasanton that is also part of that cabal! Be ready to open your wallet, but they are works of art.

$200-$300
Just an old school Case type pocket knife.

If it's not glaringly obvious, I'm not a a knife guy so I hope that description suffices.

I found out about Tactile Knife co about a month ago and that they are based in Dallas. Do you have one? If so, how is the quality?

My wife bought me a knife couple years ago from a guy in East TX that makes them from pieces of battleship Texas. It's really nice.

WOW.

You weren't joking. Beautiful knives and I can only assume they are of incredible quality.

That stated, I'm not in those guys' customer base.

A pair of Bobby House slip joint knives I bought a couple of years ago. Met him at the Ft Worth knive show a couple years ago and really liked his work and started following him on instagram and searching for his knives on the web.
