Moose Antler Carvings?

[Jason28]

Pictures and stuff you find is about the extent of it. You can pick up T-shirts and stuff that says Alaska on Venus the way the internet works now a days. I would advise getting a nice camera that you are familiar with prior to traveling, as the pictures will make a nice scrap book. Also since you dont like fish I'm assuming you've never had fresh Salmon, Halibut, or Yellow Eye. I will admit that most fish are an acquired taste, like coffee, but fresh Halibut and deep fried with lemon butter or beer batter is arguably the best tasting thing ever. I encourage you to give it a try, and if you like it, maybe spend a few hours fishing a few and/or shipping some home. Oh yeah, dont mess with fish and game.

The Native Heritage Center in Anchorage has walrus ivory pieces for sale. There's also a book about the carvers called Eskimo Carvers of the Bering Sea Walrus Carvings by Alaska's Finest. The author is trader Dale ( Dale Kessler). I think it cost between $20-$25.

I wanted to hunt down some whale oil when I was up there but I didn't have time, nor was I near a whaling community...but I bet you could find some whale bone carvings, they're quite nice, maybe some handmade fur items...

Ulu knives any good? I never heard of them previously, but they keep popping up as I wander around the Alaska part of the internet.

Just avoid the cheap, imported knock offs certain corporate owned tourist oriented businesses deal in...

[MissingAll4Seasons]

Have to agree with Arctichomesteader... avoid the crappy ulu knives at tourist places. A real/proper ulu knife is a wondrous thing, feels so natural it's just like your hand magically got sharp and you're not really holding a knife at all.
