New Product
Alaskan ULU Knife DIY Kit
The Alaskan ULU knife was first crafted by Native Alaskan residents over 5,000 years ago and was primarily used by Eskimo women for skinning and cleaning fish.
Well today people everywhere have discovered the versatility of this knife for slicing meats, dicing vegetables and a lot more. It’s a real bonus for arteritis suffers.
The knife’s rocking motion makes it extremely easy to use. Since the centre of force is concentrated over the middle of the blade, it creates twice the downward force compared to conventional cutlery.
Cleaning is a breese; simply wash your ULU by hand with soapy water in a downward motion from the handle, to avoid the sharp cutting edge, rinse thoroughly and towel dry. Its recommended you do not soak the knife in water
Our Ulu Knife Features include:-
- Versatile and easy to use.
- Constructed from 440C Stainless Steel; polished to a mirror finish.
- Excellent for slicing, chopping, and dicing.
- Centre of force is concentrated over the middle of the blade
The kit above comes with ULU blade, fixing pins, spanner and instructions, of how to make the wooden handle supplied by you.
