I've been in Alaska in multiple ports. Everywhere, scrimshaw knives are for sale, unsigned. It would be difficult to assign an artist to so many of these products.

But again, some artists are known only from their style. Solingen, Germany, Rostfrei knives were prolific at scrimshaw, even Inuit scenes, some signed, some not.

I have no idea, but I was going to say South Pacific. Well, until I saw the walrus. It's really nice. Have you tried a reverse google image search? Something might pop up.

I have not tried reverse image search, was not sure it would pickup the details enough to search on it. Not much on this, as others have said, so much is unsigned undocumented, it could be from a 100 diff artists.
