Are you specifically after a Ulu?

If not try looking for a Mezzaluna. They're not just for herb dicing but can be used for regular food prep as well

 

[Forest fella]

Yeah I've tried buying other types and styles and there not alot of help to her.
cheers

I am pretty sure I saw one in Austens Homeware section in Newton Abbot when I was in there last. When I am in town next I'll have a look for you.

The only place to get a true Alaskan ULU is here. http://www.theulufactory.com/ Beware of cheap Chinese knock offs with cheap inferior metal. I was gifted one and after a few weeks on the board the blade edge was rounded. My other one I got in Anchorage could cut the Chinese one in half. Not cheap but will last a life time of use and can be handed down, that's how long they will last.

[Forest fella]

Cheers guys this is the style I'm after.

What thickness? A lot of the modern ones like the one you've pictured look like they may be a bit thick for some veg cutting, though fine for meat.

 

[Forest fella]

I'm not sure how thick this kind of knife is tobe honest,but I think there thinner than the larger style blades with a wider blade.

The large ones are made from old saw blades quite often so very thin.

Been in the shed yesterday Making this for a trial run for mum.
The Old saw Blade tip was a cracker,Needs abit of a polish now.
It has a 3 1/4'' wide Blade and the blade depth is 1 1/4''

Go easy please,I'm just a learner.
cheers

Don't know what your budget is, but this maybe the best available online in the UK, barring custom made.

I looked at your suggestions for ulu's knives in the UK,and I'm now ashamed to look at the ulu I made.
