Custom scrimshaw starts at about $75 per panel and can go up from there, depending on detail and coverage. Our artists can do any wildlife, insignias, banners, human figures, etc. If you have an image you'd like to have custom scrimshawed, it's very helpful if you can provide a picture or a sketch. Custom scrimshaw takes about three weeks from the time the grips are ready to scrimshaw, and we will quote you a price upon receipt of your images.
