Greenlandish?

I am trying to find a name for a kayak i built and i wanted a greenlandish word as traditional kayaking came from greenland. I found a word online “Savik” , aparently it means knife. I just wanted a second opinion from someone who might know for sure if this is the right translation. Perhaps you might have other suggestions aswell. thanks.

Umiatsiaq – means a boat or a ship
Imaq – means the sea
i think those would be nice names for a kayak

but here is what you wanted to know

Savik is a knife with a handle made out of raindeer antlers and the sheet made of seal skin .

here is the process but it is described in danish and greenlandish, hope the pictures will help
