Scrimshaw Etching Kits with Scribe and India Ink
Shop an intermediate scrimshaw etching kit that pairs India ink with a heat-treated scribe, so you can practice a craft rooted in American history. The etching surface is the bone handle of a two-blade slipjoint knife, and the kit adds step-by-step instructions, picture samples, carbon paper and steel wool.
Scrimshaw is the craft of cutting detailed artwork into bone, ivory or similar material and then highlighting it with ink. The scribe here is heat-treated steel for precise control, and the picture samples give you starting artwork for the first designs.
The bone scales are fitted to a 2-blade slipjoint with 440A stainless blades, and the kit holds enough material to finish that folder plus several other projects. As an intermediate kit, it suits hobbyists and gunsmiths who want to build on the engraving skills they already have.
