The elders commented that they had never seen Tlingit armor like this before, and this may actually be a more decorative object. The buttons on this object were commercially made and the coins on this object were sewn on with either sinew, braided sinew, or twine. Florence commented that this object looks like it was made from mooseskin.

Knife For BlubberE67829-0
FROM CARD: "WOODEN HANDLE CARVED IN SHAPE OF ANIMAL HEAD. ONE ABALONE SHELL INLAY REMAINS IN MOUTH. COPPER PLATE INSERTED AT END OF TANG, EXTENDING OVER PART OF LOWER BLADE. BLADE OF IRON."McLean list in accession file identifies this object as Chilcat. It appears that Chilcat may be meant as a place name on this list, perhaps not specifically or exclusively as a culture name, similar to the way other objects in the collection are identified as Sitka, Kootzahoo, and Hoonyah. Chilcat/Chilkat is a name sometimes used for Klukwan.
