Etch His Sketch

Working as a sailor has always been the most affordable way to see the world. But between ports, there's an awful lot of ocean to look at. And nary a jacuzzi, casino, or mini-golf course on deck. With plenty of free time on their hands, sailors got hands-on, making a mark with personalized knife handles.

The art of carving designs into bone knife handles is known as scrimshawing. It takes a steady hand and strong discipline, much like the seamanship required to steer a vessel through a white squall with 20-foot swells.

The Scrimshaw Knife Kit supplies the knife, tools, and instructions to make sure his maiden voyage is smooth sailing.

Scrim a Little Off the Sides
  • The Boker Traditional Series Gentleman's Lockback Knife has a high-quality stainless steel blade and a white bone handle that's begging for an etching.
  • A soup-to-nuts batch of scrimshawing supplies will set him up for success. There's a metal scribe, Higgins Black Ink, Renaissance Wax—even a slab of Micarta practicin' ivory.
  • The Lansky Dual Grit Sharpener gets right to the point, whether he's sharpening his blade, fishing hooks, or his wit. Maybe not that last one.

    finally got to my gift from last year

    this is my third mancrate..the ammo can radio and humidor were my previous awesome gifts. I'm not a good artist when it comes to drawing. but the test sample ivory gave me some confidence. I sat down today and in about 1 hour knocked out a pretty cool knife. instructions are clear and concise and the knife is great quality. I have several different tactical knives that I EDC but this is such a unique, personal pocket knife that I will add to my daily carry.

    Knife kit

    Bought this for my husband birthday. He was thrilled with it. The quality of items in this kit was awesome, he didn’t have to go to his garage. Everything he needed was included. These man crates are wonderful to buy as a gift. Going to check out a Father’s Day kit in the next few days!!!!

    My man rate arrived today, as a Birthday gift. Everything was in great shape, all tools and a classic folder with some work to be done, can’t wait to get started creating another heirloom.
    Thanks for always providing quality items

    I’m not a bit about knifes but it looks amazing to me. Came in great condition, more tools than I even thought I needed, and it is obviously well built. I got it for Christmas and it’s amazing. Would highly recommend to anyone who is creative. Great job man crate team, it’s amazing!
