Description

i. “Ancient Ulu Blades were usually made of slate. The handles were made of bone, wood, ivory or antler, and often became works of art in the hands of skilled carvers. Ulus were used for cutting meat, splitting hides, and making clothing. The materials have changed, but the semicircular design that made the Ulu so versatile and easy has endured. Even today, many Alaskans prefer the Ulu for its efficiency and ease of use.
ii. Care & Use: Wash Ulu carefully by hand in mild detergent and warm water. Please be advised never to wash in dish washer. Rinse well, wipe clean, store on base in dry area.
iii. Use to: Chop and trim meats, skin, cut and filet fish, chop vegetables, and slice pizza. Use your Imagination!”
