Model 148 Skinner, Fossil Walrus ivory Eskimo artifact

Alaskan fossil walrus tusk ivory is one of the rarest and most beautiful of all the ivories available. Buried for approximately 100 to 3000 years, the ancient tusks and artifacts have been excavated from privately owned land at old village sites located on St. Lawrence Island in the Bering Sea.

Due to the mineral deposits in which they lay over the centuries, the originally white ivory has slowly taken on an exotic array of warm colors ranging from creams and golden tans to chocolate browns-- oranges to dark reds-- even an occasional rare splash of blues or green. Fossilized walrus is not only unique in beauty, but is also a very durable and stable handle material.

Whenever possible, each piece is kept intact as an artifact and polished in its natural shape. A blade style and size is selected to symmetrically go with the unique size and shape of each piece.

The distinctive character and growing rarity of fossil walrus ivory makes each knife a truly lasting, one-of-a-kind piece of art.
