The Grong Story
September of 2017, Clay Friedrich began creation of the first wooden Grongs. Shortly after, Scott Milliron joined, and with his help, the two-man team experimented with a few different styles. After extensive testing, they landed on a polished ergonomic design featuring a stainless steel screen. Finally, a laser engraving was applied with a big thank you to Brock Livingstone.

March of 2020, the first silicone Grongs arrived. Boasting a durable silicone body with a thick glass insert to make the silicone Grong just as sturdy as the original!
