If you are not familiar with this type of knife, it has been used by Arctic people for centuries; everything from processing fish to butchering a whale. The original ulus were made from slate or granite because there was no chert or flint in the area. Some chert tools from the Ohio river basin have been found in Alaska, finding it's way through trade but this was rare. This knife is still used in the North mostly for processing salmon (in kitchens here too for chopping vegetables and cutting pizza).
