About this business
This factory is home to the unique and ancient knife developed by the Alaskan Eskimos. The knife is shaped with a semi-circular blade attached to a handle, like a horseshoe with the open end sealed with a straight edge as a grip. The handle, formerly made with antlers, whale or walrus bone, is now offered in many different types of wood. This factory also sells bowls and cutting boards to match its knives. Each of the products has a lifetime guarantee.

We could only stay a couple minutes, but it's a fun little gift shop. They were taking down the Christmas lights in the last week of March.
Wonderful, large store with lots to offer. I got a beautiful elk bone ulu for my dad, who spent time traveling in Alaska when he was young. I also found really unique cribbage boards made from scrimshaw. I picked up a few ‘imperfect’ cutting boards for gifts as well. Highly recommend.
Awesome staff we’re willing to walk you through very cool tool of history. If you’re into knives hunting or just looking for a cool new kitchen tool, I highly recommend this place. I’m down from my home in Fairbanks and had to stop in and see how the magic was made. I was not in the slightest bit disappointed. 10 out of 10🤌🤌
Great souvenir! Buy American made! Support Small Businesses!
You can see them doing the blades right there! They give you instructions on how to care for the blades and everything! Its worth it coming here to buy them instead of the other gift shops that sell the same item or worst copies made in china! And they have discounted ones with minor defects that they sell too!
