Rick Knight Smooth Horn w/ Ivorite Estate Briar Pipe, American Estates

Description

Though I don’t think he’s around on the scene anymore, Rick Knight was a very talented artisan pipe maker in the 2000s. Inspired by the likes of Mark Tinsky and Trever Talbert, Knight was given more formal instruction in the craft by Lee Von Erck, Brian Ruthenberg, and Tyler Beard, with the resulting pipes selling quite well. This is the first of his pipes I’ve seen in years, and it’s just as nice as I remember. Taking the form of a horn, or perhaps even a freehand yachtsman—almost like a modernized Charatan 461—the briar shows plenty of flame grain, and the pipe is accented with a ring of Ivorite.

The condition is great. Some very minor, inner rim darkening, but nothing major that I can see.
