    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The Inuit of Arctic America used all the natural resources that were available to them, particularly animals, such as seal, caribou, walrus and whales, and they processed their skins, bones, tendons and even intestines into food, clothing, and equipment. They had a number of knives developed to help in this work, for scraping and cutting skins, processing tendons, cutting and removing snow, and in preparing food. This is a snow-knife which would have been used either to cut snow blocks for houses or for scraping snow off clothing. The flat, curved blade is made from tusk ivory. One face is flatter than the other and the inner edge is sharp. Two incised parallel lines run along both sides of the outer, blunt edge. The blade has a V notch where it is fixed to the wooden handle by sinews passing through perforations. The handle has a hook on the end to give a better grip. this feature is often seen on Inuit knives and scrapers. The snow-knife is thought to come from Labrador, Canada and to date from the early 20th century.<br />
