Come along to the amazing Summer Moot (21st July - 2nd August), a festival of bushcrafting and camping in a beautiful woodland PLEASE CLICK HERE for more information.
hey, just wondering if anyone here ever made or botched together something which resembles an ulu knife. if so id be interested to see a picture or two. I think id like to make one for scrapping skins.
I've had a couple to use but never made one I'm afraid. I rather like them and once you get the hang of using them they are surprisingly pleasant to use.....and not just for scrapping flesh of skins. Quite a few chefs use them too I believe....great for chopping herbs and other stuff really finely.
I've even got a little pocket folder Ulu which is just lovely
Sorry I can't help with the making it but be interested to see what you manage to create
Be interested if anybody knows a bit more of the history of them too...I know they are used by the Inuit people and Ulu translates as "woman's knife" but I'm interested where they came from.....they look to me a bit like an axe or hawk head from a snapped handled item that's been used as is and sort of developed from there. But that's pure guess work on my part for looking at them.
I sort of backed myself up on this as I found that after using my Ulu for more wood carving it improved my axe/hatchet carving technique.
Nope...no recollection of where it came from or what it cost....I just have it! Lol I can take a photo if you'd like to see it but I have no idea how to post the photo....I don't use photo bucket or anything like that. Happy to text/email the photo to anybody who wants to see or is willing to post
Just nosing round google I found these: http://www.heinnie.com/blade-tech-ulu but they are nothing like the little one I have. Mine is just an Ulu and not a fixed blade combo.
Just dug mine out...it's electro ingraved with "Alaska" and has a map of the outline of the state below it so seeing as I've never been to Alaska somebody must have got it for me....damned if I can remember who though! Lol
