I feel a need to check in every so often to learn more about what goes on in our northernmost state.

The ivory tip has a lanyard on it because Qaluraq goes seal hunting and has lost some knives in the water...this is to make sure he doesn't lose it! <br /><br />Technically, I work with him on the ivory handled knives, and they are more expensive, but he does 99% of the work, all I do is whatever the FED's require for Native handicrafts. (Dummys) Anyway. He's does have a whole mess of anodized steel blades, damascus blades and stainless steel blades that are just itching to get worked on. <br /><br />If you're in Kotzebue, he has a few at the Art's Center. Otherwise, feel free to email him and put CUSTOM KNIVES in the subject line, so he doesn't accidentally delete your message! <br /><br />Thanks.Finnskimohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15796494092961147276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2250327881833503609.post-88137473789786743992009-11-06T12:00:12.526-09:002009-11-06T12:00:12.526-09:00wow Dean, I never realized how much your hands loo...wow Dean, I never realized how much your hands look like daddy's until I see them at work.

SO now I know who to root for if Hooper is out of the tourney (though it would be great if they stayed in!). <br /><br />One of my favorite compliments is when folks here say to me that I'm a real Yup'ik -- especially since I'm not genetically Yup'ik, but since "Yup'ik" means "Real, genuine Person", I can qualify, and I like being told I am a real person.<br /><br />Email me about how much your husband's knives go for. Tuluk liked the look of it and his birthday is in March. :)Catehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08547406616756233807noreply@blogger.com
