Recycling
Traditional materials are valuable, and their availability is constantly uncertain. Therefore, we make full use of them.
The leftover pieces from leather blanks for sheaths are turned into belt loops and any remaining leather is used for the handles of Scout knives. We sort metals into seven categories (silver, brass, nickel silver, steel, knife steel, aluminum, and stainless steel). Brass and nickel silver are recycled by melting them down for casting such items as our horse head pommels. We recycle silver through our supplier company, since it cannot be used for casting without altering its composition. All other metals are sent to Kuusakoski for recycling.
