I thought it might be time to show off the work of a maker that some might not be familiar with...........
And as a way of an introduction I'll use his own words from an original post not so long ago...
Greetings ladies and gentlemen, as a new Blade Forum member, i would like to introduce my self. My name is Jose (pepe) Jalomo, Jr., I just recently retired as a Training/ Tactical Sergeant serving 31 years with the Laredo Police Department. With me throughout this endevour and continues, is the Lord, my beautiful wife, two gorgeous daughters and 5 terrific grandchildren. Now a little bit about my passion, knifemaking, after continuous encourgement and tutoring from a great knifemaker and friend , Enrique Peña, i decided to work at improving my slipjoint knifemaking skills. I finally retired and jumped at Full Time knifemaking. After a lot of prayer,a trash barrel full of knife parts, and stringent inspection and expectations from Enrique, i finally got his "Green Light" and reluctantly decided to post my first knife and hopefully more to come. I would also like to Thank Mr. Bill Ruple who has been very humble and willing to share his tremedous knowledge in an art that he has Mastered.
