Anyone out there use an Ulu in the kitchen? Always impressed me so finally ordered one fro, The Ulu factory in Alaska. Just curious for input on anyone currently using one.

Don't typically use them in the kitchen, but have used them for skinning and hide scrapping.

It's on my list of knives to make, but I have not personally used one.

I watch the program "Life Below Zero" which is filmed in Alaska. They showed Agnes Hailstone using one to scrape as much fat as she could from a pelt to tan and sell it. I bought a brand new one at Salvation Army. It appears to have been someone's souvenir, and has Alaska printed on it with a wilderness picture. Price I paid for it was a whole fifty cents. I knew what it was when I saw it and scooped it up for future reference.  |

A leather cutting tool called a round knife is similar. I have several and use one as a kitchen tool. Great for cutting up carrots and such for stews. They are half of a circle with a handle on top. Just fits in a big mixing bowl and makes cutting salads and fixin's really easy. Just fits the conture of the bowl, and rock back and forth = slice and dice. Works great on a cutting board for meat and all kinds of stuff. ULU has horizontal handle is the main difference.

I like "Life Below Zero" Hailstones have great family ties,happy with each others company, reminds me of years ago in most of rural America. |

You're so right graf. The Hailstones are traditionalists in many ways since Agnes is a full-blooded Inuit. She's now teaching her girls the fine art of cleaning pelts to sell, trade or make clothing and boots.
