Maui. The cultural hero and prankster of island mythology. Thanks to Disney’s Moana, people around the world have been exposed to the existence of the Maui hook necklace and other pieces of Hawaiian jewelry.
Unless you're familiar with traditional American folk art, you probably have no idea what the term scrimshaw means. We can assure you, though, that if that's the case, you're missing out on a ton of unique gifts!
According to some legends, a young Hawaiian warrior conquered a sea god in battle and, once victorious, rose up from the ocean ornamented with a necklace of shark teeth. Since then people that spend a lot of time in the ocean believed that wearing a shark tooth necklace would keep them safe from a shark attack.
Our collection of scrimshaw knives is not only an eye-catching treasure but a piece that comes with a story to tell. Imagine handing a loved one a gift that comes with a fascinating history. A little bit of Hawaii that will provide memories for years to come. It’s simply priceless.
