Gentle reminder... of MY favorite maker! Hill Pearce stopped making knives in 1990. Was a pioneer in the 80's and earned the Knives Annual 'Wooden Sword' award in 1983 (with Bob Lum). He lives in Alabama. I talked to him ten years ago. Not since. I own 20 of his pieces. Rare to find. (One is on eBay for $55,000. Sorry, wrong planet.) Inspiring curves. ALL intentional. Organic filework. Enjoy.
