Interesting, I would have thought that walrus would be a rare animal in those latitudes. Thanks!

So, does anyone have an idea of the costs usually associated to etching andpolishing these blades "properly"by a proffessional? I don't have an inkling of the market value of the items in question, s I don't know if doing that is economically sound...A similar situation arose wit a couple officer's katanas I own.
