The Scrimshaw Legacy – Why It Matters
Scrimshaw engraving dates back to the 18th-century whaling era, where sailors carved intricate designs onto whale bone and ivory. Today, the art lives on through modern craftsmanship, with designs engraved on ethically sourced materials like bone, micarta, and ivory substitutes.
At Scrimshaw Knife, we work with skilled artisans and blade experts to ensure every scrimshaw knife carries historical significance, artistic detail, and rugged durability.
