About scrimshaw

The ancient art of engraving or scribing lines into a polished material, typically ivory or bone, then filling the engraving with inks and wiping away the excess.
We work with bone or ivory substitutes using tungsten scribes and other modern tools to bring intricate and memorable designs to market.

Personalized and Custom Designs

We can personalize most everything we sell, names being the most popular. Discreet initials, dates and short sayings are other possibilities for the back of knives and other items.

We can also do custom work. Company awards, gifts or other memorable items can be done. Reach out via Shopify or our website and let us know what you're interested in. If we're unable to create what you're looking for, chances are we can direct you to another artist who can.
