For more than 100 years, Skookum products have been made in Oregon, USA. Skookum is an American Indian name that means "tough" and that's exactly what these products are. Forged from alloy steel, Skookum shackles have a long reputation for quality and durability. The same goes for its line of link and forestry products. Skookum also is the last company in the U.S. to offer and produce cast sided block products for the utility, industrial, forestry, and commercial fishing markets.
