Handmade Ulus
We make our hand built working ulus with moose or deer antler and hardwood handles. They can be fastened with either threaded brass or stainless steel pins
They come with a block or a handmade 8 oz. leather sheath and a lifetime guarantee.
Based on a Canadian western arctic Inuit design, Aki and I make ulus that become an extension of your hand. We sculpt each handle to fit very comfortably in your hand.
We recover tough L6 tool steel from lumber mill bandsaw blades for our ulu blades. We shape, harden the blades then differentially temper the ulu necks. The tough and strong ulu blades are 2 mm thick, with high 1 1/2" bevels and starting at 20cm (8 inches) of razor edge. We guarantee it.
Ensuring proper fit, balance and edge quality these ulus are great to work with in the kitchen or out in the bush.
Canadian style, Custom Hunting, Bushcraft and Kitchen Ulus.
The ulu knife is an excellent tool in the kitchen for slicing, jerky, filleting, chopping and mincing. It could become your favourite tool. As a hunting tool, they are the ultimate skinning knife. As a bushcraft tool ulus are second to none for food preparation and leather working .
Please refer to the above ulus. View the shapes of blade and handles then email us. We will make what you want. Depending on the ulu you choose it would take about 8 weeks.
