Nate King Partially Sandblasted Diesel Punk Freehand (160) (2014) (Unsmoked) Tobacco Pipe

With a background as an auto-racing mechanic and aircraft technician, it's no wonder Indiana-based artisan Nate King has delved into the dieselpunk aesthetic. For those unfamiliar with the term, dieselpunk is a science fiction subgenre that combines the aesthetics of the diesel-based technology of the late 1910s to late 1930s with retro-futuristic and postmodern sensibilities. The style also borrows heavily from the Art Deco movement, with this partially sandblasted Freehand being a fitting example. Featuring metallic, industrial flourishes and a tight-knit, muscular composition with rather mechanical looking curves, this offering is sure to make a standout addition to any pipe collection. Moreover, given King's strong background in engineering and mechanics, it's designed to offer countless satisfying smokes.
