Eskimo's use a similar tool called a Ula, but all that I have seen has the handle different. I think it is a chopper for vegies and such. miles
Look out for number 1, don't step in number 2.

The Ula is what came to mind for me too. Doesn't really look eskimo to either, but I have seen them with lots of different handles.
Could be something a baker would use for cutting large batches of tough dough. Bread, bagel, pasta?

It's an Ulu knife. I bought one when I was hunting in the N.W.T. The Inuit use them daily for cooking, skinning and fleshing hides.

The Italians use a version with handles on both ends of the blade called a mezzaluna.

Someone, Miss Lynn maybe, got it right. Used for chopping vegetables and such in a cutting board with a small depression.
True ulus have far less belly in the blade.

Mesa Luna, or Kitchen chopper, part of a set for use in a wooden bowl with a slightly larger radius. I have a couple of them.

Single bladed food chopper. Exactly. It was used in conjunction with a wooden bowl for chopping vegetables. My grandmother had two of them, along with the wooden bowls. Used them often to chop vegetables. I have one set and it still works as well as when my grandmother used it. L.W. EDIT: MCMURPhRJK posted as I was typing this.
