[QUOTE="bosko69, post: 11289877, member: 16283"]I'd love some help solving the provenance of this Ulu-'style' (Eskimo/Inuit multi-purpose knife) cutting/chopping tool. Piece is 6 1/4" long by 4 1/2" across,blade is very firmly wedged into the handle-no trace of wiggle. Haven't found any Inuit carvings of rooster-combed birds on their artifacts, and the crescent-shaped Inuit ulu blade is [U]always[/U] mounted in-line/parallel to the handle. To my untrained eyes the crude carving seems to be made of mahogany, age of the blade's beyond my guesstimating.Thanks All for the help !
