MollyJogger Scrimshaw Knife Kit - Lock-back Edition mly0002,

The Scrimshaw Knife Kit - Lock-Back Edition from MollyJogger gives you the Scrimshaw Experience. Scrimshaw is an early American art form which originated in the late 1700's during the era of the whaling industry. During the many idle hours at sea, a whaler etched drawings of nautical themes on items that were readily available to him such as sperm whale teeth and bones. His primary etching instrument was a sail needle, nail or pocket knife. After he scratched his art work into the surface of the bone, he would rub lamp black or tobacco juice into the scratch to reveal the drawing. You can experience this art form too as you scrimshaw the images of a hunt, big catch or simply the family name on your very own bone-handled pocket knife. This kit includes all you'll need to complete the project and is a perfect starter introduction into scrimshaw.
