Preserve a Lifetime of Memories

The tree that grew alongside your family, the one that offered shade and beauty for generations, is more than just wood. It holds memories. When it's time for that tree to be taken down, you don't have to lose it forever. We can transform its wood into a stunning, one-of-a-kind knife handle—a beautiful, lasting tribute to its legacy.

The Process is Simple:

• Talk to your tree service specialist. Let them know you'd like to save a piece of the wood. They will handle the process of getting the wood to us.

• We stabilize the wood. We use a special resin to make the wood incredibly durable, water-resistant, and perfect for a knife handle.

• We craft your knife. Our artisans will handcraft a custom handle from your wood and fit it to the knife of your choice.
