Jon Swinamer is a lifelong skateboarder and part owner of Pro Skateboards in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Always disappointed by the piles of skate decks that end their ride at the dump, he found a way to increase their life span by making knife handles for friends and relatives. “I’d seen some jewellery and art pieces made from discarded skate decks, but never anything I could actually use.” This alliance produces a knife that, aside from the glue, is completely built from reclaimed materials.
