Description
The art of Scrimshaw dates back to the whaling days over 200 years ago. Scrimshaw refers to the carvings or engravings done on antler, bone or ivory. This nearly forgotten art is still being kept alive today in the same manner that it was in the past days of whaling to create these scrimshaw ulus.
Old Time Distributors in Anchorage, Alaska works with Alaskan artisans who hand craft each ulu from antler, each becomes a unique and original piece of art.
Actual ulu knives will vary from these photos as each piece of artwork and antler is unique. If desired, we are happy to send photos of current stock--just ask!
