Utility knife that would have served as an eating and butchering tool. A traditional shape reminiscent of a snow knife with T-shaped pommel, but on a smaller scale. It may have had a larger blade at one time that was refitted after breaking. The Inuit craftsman had to make do with what he had. The handle is made of three pieces of bone spliced together with copper rivets and wrapped with hide strips. Sheath of fish skin and thin hide. 14 ¼”long.
