Walrus Ivory Inuit Fox Handled Letter Opener

This ivory carving is more interesting than most of the ivoy letter openers that come out of Alaska.  It has a well executed scrimshawed seal on the blade .  The shape of the blade is more like a hunting knife with a nice curved form which drops down to the crouching fox on the handle.  This will be a piece that will be a pleasure to own.
