The Ulu knife is the traditional knife of the Inuit and other Arctic peoples. The shape of the Ulu is based on applying force centred in the middle of the blade - which makes cutting very hard objects such as bones, much easier.
The Sportes ULUU knife is a hybridized version of the traditional Ulu. Made in Canada from 1095C carbon steel, with a maple wood handle, the ULUU also incorporates design elements from Japanese, Scandinavian, European and American knives, making it perfect for skinning, tanning hides, cutting vegetables and fruits, or field dressing fish or wild game. Part skinning knife, hunting knife, bushcraft knife, net fishing knife, and even European butcher chopper, the ULUU represents not just the updating of an ancient tool, but a real collaboration of skilled craftsmen in various manufacturing disciplines around a new concept and design.
DESIGN:
- Sharpened Japanese style (chisel grind) by hand on one side of the blade
- Ideal tempering for a food cutter - Please Note: The ULUU is not a knife for cutting or chopping wood
