"Those look SMART" @HogtoothKnives Matt Chase, JS would love this *correct* comment. Smart looking + skilled build = DESIRE! A pair of damascus *Little Ruffians* that I finished recently. @VegasForge Stainless. The SMOOTH handle scales are mammoth ivory.

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. Inspiring curves. ALL intentional. Organic filework. Enjoy.
