A vintage Ulu style cutting tool.

Tools used by the people of the Pecos Pueblo. I'm no expert but I will guess that the metal here dates to the post-contact period.

Decided to make a more accurate replica of a #hidescraper out of #normanskill #chert for #leatherworking and #hideworking. I will be using this a lot in the coming months :). #paleo #paleoindian #archaic #ancientknowledge #forgottenknowledge #primitivetools #paleotools #crafts #nativeamerican ift.tt/2gkNDvP

Fits hand well, smooth from use, sharpened edge
