The Ulu blade has been around for thousands of years across every continent and civilization.

There are several different versions of the Ulu. Today, an Ulu is often thought of as a skinner

but the versatility might surprise you.

These Ulu blade blanks are waterjet cut to our drawings from 440C. This steel is

probably the most widely used knife steel in the world for a reason. It has a great

balance of toughness, edge holding and corrosion resistance.

The blade blank is not heat treated. This steel has been sandblasted to descale forging

scale. These blanks are not bare steel. You will need to sand the blanks a bit to get to

bare metal.

The holes in these Ulu’s will fit one of our Corby style bolts for attaching handle material

securely. Traditional Ulu’s are often found with antler handles or drift wood for handles.

There isn’t anything wrong with you using fancy stabilized woods or even colored G10

for handles to dress up your Ulu knife project.
