These pictures give some idea of the size. I could not make decide on what was my best side, flat agianst my face.

As to the idea of a blubber knife origin, I have my doubts. the form could equally come abstracted from nature. The traditional polynesian sail is known as "Crab claw sail" If one looked hard enough on a whaling ship one might find something of similar shape to the crab claw sail. The notion of a bubber knife origin reinforces concepts of progress on contact with western culture and weekness in the native.
