This is the best stop in town! My son bought 2 cute knives and I got a beautiful carved owl. Owner was negotiable and knowledgable. Not a bunch of the same crap as other stores. We loved it! Our fav shopping in Alaska!

Good deals on jewelry. I bought a bracelet here for a lot less than another place tried to sell me one for. Exact same bracelet! And they have lots of unique items, Knick Knacks and such. Owner/employees were so friendly and informative. Make sure to stop by here when you get off the cruise ship and support a locally owned business.

Great place, owned by a local, with many beautiful old pieces of mammoth, walrus, and other old carvings. Well worth a stop and shop. I purchased this whale pod carved into a prehistoric walrus tusk and a piece of scrimshawed mammoth ivory. Wonderful place!

I went here a few years back and bought a polar bear claw necklace. When I came back to buy a claw he was eating a taco for lunch and I bought the polar bear claw he was wearing at the time. Still wearing the claw today, really well made sturdy claw design. Great knowledgeable customer service, nice people!!
