Description :

Step into the spirit of midcentury Americana with this rare 10-piece vintage dining set, featuring ten (10) Briddell steak knives and one (1) Northampton pie server. Each piece showcases polished stainless-steel blades and creamy faux-ivory handles, hand-etched with evocative Arctic scenes — reindeer, sleds, hunters, and canoes — in the style of traditional scrimshaw. Every handle is signed by Native Alaskan artist Howard Weyahok, whose work honors Inuit heritage and wilderness life.

Highlights:

  • Artist-Signed: Each handle bears the signature of Howard Weyahok, known for scrimshaw-inspired depictions of Arctic life.

  • Unique Scenes: No two handles are alike — each features a distinct hand-drawn motif including moose, cabins, and canoes.

  • Midcentury Craftsmanship: Produced circa 1950s–1970s as collectible presentation pieces.

  • Materials: Chrome vanadium blades (Briddell), stainless steel pie server (Northampton), faux ivory composite handles.

Dimensions:

  • Steak Knives: approx. 9 in. length

  • Pie Server: approx. 9.5 in. length

Markings:

  • Knives: “Briddell U.S.A. Chrome Vanadium”

  • Server: “Northampton Stainless”

  • Handles: Signed “Howard Weyahok”


Collecting Note: Sets like this are prized for their blend of utility and artistry. Weyahok’s signature elevates each piece into a miniature canvas of Alaskan heritage — ideal for collectors of Native American art, scrimshaw, or midcentury flatware.
