I had to buy it... I don't know why but I had to.

The Prototype that was accidentally posted on FB a while ago did have a a cerekote blade .. and a Rosewood or Cocobolo handle. Kinda of glad they did not go with Black Cerekote ..

GROK was right on the model #

This exclusive Buck model 949 Kitchen Ulu features a satin-finish, BOS heat treated, 420HC steel, ulu blade with a Buck anvil cutout. The handle is made of African ebony with steel rivets. Complete with a black blade cover, this unique knife is expertly built as part of the November 2025 Buck of the Month program. Only 500 were made.

When I saw this post and the reference to GROK, it thought you were just having fun with AI modeling. I double-checked the Buck website and laughed so hard that Cat the Cat woke up.

That’s cool but a pass for me

A Ulu, I didn't see that coming. Not for me and I'm sure the wife would not want it in her kitchen. Not sure I know anyone who uses one.

It's probably a far sight better than the dirt cheap Pakistani model I picked up before the plague, just to see if I'd find an Ulu useful. I did find it useful, until it started to rust. I don't think I need to spend this kind of money just to chop scorpion peppers, but I'm glad Buck has one of these in the line.

308 left. So someone likes them.
I have every kitchen knife they have made, so do I pass this up, or.....?

I got this one from my brother up in Alaska about 20 years ago and I use it very frequently. The black paint has mostly gone over time. I use it to cut vegetables and minc herbs by rocking it back and forth also for cutting pizza and sandwiches. Has a five inch cutting edge. It’s very versatile and handy. I like this one Buck has offered but this one will probably last me a lifetime and pass it on to my kids.

I use an ulu so now you know someone who does. I like it but at $175 I think I will pass.

 

[K-Lastima]

I'll pass on this one. Waiting for a cheaper version to come out in a couple of years from now

Tecate good job on sleuthing out this month's BOTM.
I haven't decided yet...interested, but maybe spend that money elsewhere.

 

[Vaporstang]

I snagged one. I'm not sure why, but I had to have it. I'm sure it will get used.

Hard pass. I just don't have the need to process walrus here in Michigan like I used to.

I heard they work great on Mackinac Walruses!

Also known as Wisconsin tourists. I lived half of my life in Wisconsin, the other in Michigan - so I can say it. Wisconsin does have an obesity and drinking problem. Actually, they have no problem with their drinking. There are a lot of fudge shops in Mackinac - ulus would work great for cutting fudge.

H Happy Hippo I atribute my drinking to trying to forget watching the Badgers and Packers... that would cause anyone to drink this year.
