Thanks so much for the help, I needed to use a range slider in my scenario so here is an extension to @John Earles and @Michael Kire Hansen

ko.bindingHandlers.sliderRange = {
init: function (element, valueAccessor, allBindingsAccessor) {
    var options = allBindingsAccessor().sliderOptions || {};
    $(element).slider(options);
    ko.utils.registerEventHandler(element, "slidechange", function (event, ui) {
        var observable = valueAccessor();
        observable.Min(ui.values[0]);
        observable.Max(ui.values[1]);
    });
    ko.utils.domNodeDisposal.addDisposeCallback(element, function () {
        $(element).slider("destroy");
    });
    ko.utils.registerEventHandler(element, "slide", function (event, ui) {
        var observable = valueAccessor();
        observable.Min(ui.values[0]);
        observable.Max(ui.values[1]);
    });
},
update: function (element, valueAccessor, allBindingsAccessor) {
    var value = ko.utils.unwrapObservable(valueAccessor());
    if (isNaN(value.Min())) value.Min(0);
    if (isNaN(value.Max())) value.Max(0);

    $(element).slider("option", allBindingsAccessor().sliderOptions);
    $(element).slider("values", 0, value.Min());
    $(element).slider("values", 1, value.Max());
}
};

and then the HTML to accompany it
