The Story of Atsknskgift: Forged in Recovery, Held in Trust

My name is Sarah, and my workshop didn’t start with a business plan. It started in the quiet, determined space of early sobriety. In 2001, as a single mother piecing my life back together, I found my anchor not just in recovery, but in the act of creation with my own hands. The rhythmic press and strike of metal became my meditation. Atsknskgift was born in that small garage—not just as a workshop, but as a sanctuary. Our first "clients" were fellow recovery members; I crafted coins to mark their milestones, each piece a physical token of a battle hard-won, a promise kept to oneself.

By 2005, the coins had begun to speak. I received a letter from a man who carried his coin through his first year sober, its edges worn smooth by his anxious fingers. He called it his "touchstone of strength." It was then I knew this was more than a craft—it was a calling. I made the leap to design and produce every piece in-house. While I continued to bring client visions to life, I began weaving the quiet language of resilience and hope into our original designs. The name Atsknskgift itself is a blend of my purpose: "At Skin & Soul," a gift of tangible commitment. It’s the feeling of a solid, weighty coin in your palm—a reminder that you are here, you are present, you are sober.

For over two decades, this belief has been our foundation. We grew not by advertisement, but by whispered recommendation in church basements, by the trust of a fire chief who wanted to honor his crew's courage, by the gratitude of parents commissioning a coin for their child's military deployment. From a solitary workshop, we've become a quiet, trusted presence, having delivered over a million coins across North America. Each one is a story I understand intimately: a reminder that we are more than our struggles; we are defined by our comebacks.

Our Values, Forged in Fire

  • Crafted with Solidity.
    We believe a promise should have weight. Every coin is made with precise detail and lasting quality, because the milestones they represent—a year sober, a retirement, a life saved—are solid and real.

  • Held in Trust.
    As a mother who has rebuilt trust, I know its profound value. When you entrust us with your story, we treat it with the same care I give my own. Your vision is safe here. Our process is transparent, our timelines are reliable, and your confidence in us is our most valued currency.

  • Driven by Redemption.
    Our coins are not accessories. They are emblems of a journey taken. They are for the service member standing tall, the survivor who refused to give up, the single parent building a better life. They are quiet symbols of the growth that often blooms from the hardest ground.

  • Fast, Professional, Human.
    I know what it means to wait for a sign of hope. That’s why our process is streamlined to deliver your symbols in as little as 10 days. You will receive responsive, professional service, but you will always be speaking to a person who understands the profound weight of what you're holding.

Your Story Awaits Its Symbol.

If you have a battle you’ve won, a team you’re proud of, or a memory you need to hold onto, I am here to listen. Let my hands and my team help you forge your legacy.
