A small hunting knife decorated with two scrimshaw designs: two salmons on the right side and a single heron on the left side (both in colors).

To choose a scrimshaw design from all the exciting animals of the world is always a challenge. But for those people who enjoy fishing, salmon and trout are in a league of their own. The heron is a unique and rarely seen bird, and not a target for hunting.

The knife is usable for all purposes as it fits well in your hand, and the blade – stainless Damasteel from Söderfors, Sweden – is extremely sharp. The iron wood will last for the lifetime of the knife. Some of the scrimshaw might be worn out over the years. The sheath is yellow-brown to match the handle with a little part stamped.

A regular-sized hunting knife decorated with two scrimshaw designs; an Eland on the right side and a Thompson gazelle on the left. I selected these gazelles as they are common prey animals for the hunter in Africa.

The knife is usable for all purposes as it fits well in your hand and is extremely sharp. The blade is made from stainless Damasteel from Söderfors, Sweden, which is one of the best steel types for knives. The iron wood will last for the lifetime of the knife. However, some of the scrimshaw might wear out over time. The sheath is yellow-brown to match the handle with a little part stamped.

The largest knife in a set of three, this hunting and fishing knife has two different scrimshaw images on the handle. All three knives are made from the same materials but have varying sizes and animals depicted in scrimshaw.

The knife is an all-purpose model with a a solid grip and an extremely sharp blade. The iron wood will last for the lifetime of the knife, whereas some of the scrimshaw might wear of over time.

To select the images for the scrimshaw is always difficult as you have many majestic animals to choose from. However, the elephant was my final choice and a little humor was added with the animal coming toward you on the front side and having just passed you on the back. The scrimshaw color is black to mimic the elephant’s grey skin. The sheath is yellow-brown to match the handle with a little part stamped.
