Product Overview
The Ulu is a knife with a semi-circular blade originally crafted by the native Alaskan people over three thousand years ago. Styled for utility, this design comes from the Inupiat Indians of North Western Alaska.
The Ulu features a handle made of moose antler. Leroy uses either caribou or moose antler as a stand for display.
The Ulu performs cutting and chopping jobs with the greatest of ease. Because the center of force is concentrated directly over the middle of the blade, it creates twice the direct downward force compared to that of conventional cutlery where the force is behind the center of the blade. This makes the Ulu excellent for cutting all sorts of meats, herbs, vegetables, cheeses, and even pizza.
Ulu Knife made by Alaskan knifemaker Leroy Barlip lll from the village of Gulkana, Alaska. Stand is Included.
Shape of the ulu's handle may vary because moose antler - natural material.
