Pepe Jalomo Custom Wharncliffe Trapper Maroon Linen Micarta CPM154 Slip Joint

Jose "Pepe" Jalomo Jr. is a custom knifemaker who has honed his skill to perfection and this custom Trapper pattern slip joint is an excellent example of it and his attention to detail. The handle is a traditional Trapper pattern with full maroon linen micarta covers. The blade is a beautifully satin-finished Wharncliffe made from CPM-154 for modern performance.

Knife is brand new, direct from the maker at the 2019 USN Gathering in Las Vegas.

Blade: Premium CPM 154 stainless steel is finished with a beautiful, hand-rubbed satin finish and a subtle swedge tapering the Wharncliffe blade to a precision tip. CPM-154 delivers modern performance with a balance of edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness. The Wharncliffe profile and shallow hollow grind allow this knife to slice and pierce with optimal performance. A generous nail nick allows for easy opening of the blade on the smooth slip joint back spring, also made of CPM 154. Excellent walk and talk with a flush spine in all three positions.

Handle: The traditional Trapper pattern is executed with brushed stainless steel liners alongside classy maroon linen micarta scales for a smooth traditional look. The back spring is equipped with a hand rubbed satin finish which also matches the steel spear shield on the front cover.

Hand-stitched leather pouch included for pocket carry and storage.
