NEWS – There’s something truly special about a tool that holds a touch of history and gives you the chance to leave your own mark. That feeling hits home for me with the new Scrimshaw Henry Collection from WESN and P&Co., two brands that know a thing or two about craft and storytelling. Their latest collab isn’t just about making good-looking knives; it’s about reviving and rewriting a piece of maritime artistry in a modern, totally approachable way for EDC fans.
When I was a teenager, I stumbled across scrimshaw quite by accident while reading a library book about sailors. The book showed images of whale bones that had intricate inked carvings. Being a curious kid, I asked my mom to buy cow bones from the local grocery store and started scratching designs into the surface with an X-Acto knife and adding ink to the lines.
That same spirit of hands-on discovery is what’s baked into the Scrimshaw Henry Collection. WESN and P&Co. didn’t just crank out four limited-edition knives; they went all in, taking inspiration from sailors who, centuries ago, crafted their own art on the high seas using whatever materials they had on hand. Today, you don’t have to go whale hunting or hunt down vintage ivory. Each Henry knife features an ethically sourced ox bone inlay, a modern, responsible nod to the original materials, and real brass liners that’ll age with every adventure.
What really sets these knives apart is the invitation to make them your own. Three out of the four variants showcase unique artwork, such as the “Mistress of the Sea,” “Skull Vase,” and “High Flier,” while one is left completely blank for anyone itching to try their own scrimshaw. Inside the box, you’ll find a precision carving tool, a bottle of ink, and clear instructions to get started, just in case you’re new to this addictive craft.
Each knife is made on WESN’s trusted slip-joint Henry model, a Swedish Sandvik steel blade, and a design that’s legal for everyday carry in places like the UK. At 2 ounces, these knives feel just right in the hand and slip easily into a pocket. With only 250 of each design available, they’re as exclusive as they are functional and at $165, they’re priced like a true piece of working art.
If you’ve ever wanted a knife that’s more than just a tool, or you’re itching to bring a centuries-old art form back to life in your own way, this collection is as fun to use as it is to display. So whether you’re carving your initials, sketching a personal logo, or just admiring the intricate designs, these knives remind us that the objects we carry every day can carry stories, too. Visit WESN for all the details where you can order one for $165.
