Seems I've seen this style on some 19th Century (and earlier) Russian knives. 

But I guess that would fit, wouldn't it?

Very cool and certainly something different.

A Russian immigrant could have made it or brought it from "back home."  That fits.  Well.

Alaska was "back home" until the U.S. (relatively recently) bought it.  And the first white settlers up there were Russians. So it's quite possible that they traded with Northwest American and Canadian Indians.
