The big leaf-shaped ground slate blade was suited for larger butchering jobs. Two edges and a deep belly profile made for efficient cuts through thick blubber and flesh.
The blade of this man’s knife is secured to the carved driftwood handle with three bone pins. A medial section of hide wrapping along with a large pommel help to maintain a firm grip in slippery conditions. The protective salmon skin sheath envelopes most of this precious implement.
