Scrimshaw Knife Kit – Trapper Style | Hands-On American Craft
A Rugged Tribute to Early American Craftsmanship
This Scrimshaw Knife Kit offers a hands-on way to connect with one of America's earliest folk art traditions. Scrimshaw—born at sea in the late 1700s—was created by whalers who etched nautical scenes onto whale bone using simple tools like pocket knives and needles. As settlers moved west, the craft came with them, carved into powder horns, knives, and other gear.
Create Your Own Custom Bone-Handled Knife
Now, you can carry on that legacy. This DIY kit includes everything you need to scrimshaw your own natural bone-handled Trapper knife—a timeless 4 1/8” pocket knife perfect for everyday use or display.
