Here is another artifact walrus ivory knife that was a pointy punch and you can see I have included the tip of the punch that was cut off to make the handle. Found on St. Lawrence Island in Alaska by Inuit Eskimos and the artifact was made by Siberian Eskimos about 2,000 yrs ago. A rare handle. Fittings are nickel silver. I made the Damascus for it with 1084 steel laminated with 15n20 and forge welded the the blade in an hand hammered with a peen to give the pattern Was heat treated to 59 to 60 on the Rockwell scale. Will hold a great edge. The blade is 4 1/8 inches long and 8 3/8" overall and comes with a handmade sheath by Jaden Marcotte
I take check of money order. "SOLD" and 10.00 for priority mail.

Your knives are always a work of art!
The natives on St. lawrence Island are still "Siberian" Eskimos. They speak a different language than the inuit on the mainland. Google is your friend, Dan.
