ulu hunting/skinning axe

[Pipeman]

Cut from a 100 year old millsaw blade, L6? . Moose antler handle with a primitive hunting charm mask carved into the end. Scary sharp. Sheath to come. Sheath pictures added. Oiled leather lined in red upholstery leather with a simple Naskapi etched design. The Naskapi were hunters for Labrador.

Best regards

I like it a lot. Looks like a very versatile blade. It has a face, does it has a name yet?

Robin, you never fail to AMAZE me. Awesome, I love the moose handle. Moose antlers are so beautiful but so large it's hard to find anything to do with them but you nailed this one . Little mans name is " My owner scares me"....Randy

I’m still convinced that you have a time machine Robin. Beautiful work as always brother.

The Naskapi were hunters for Labrador.

That Ulu looks like it would handle a Labrador or two and maybe a Mastiff! OHHH you mean the Labrador Peninsula. Nice sheath, love the Sam Brown stud tie .....Randy

looks very handy for its primitive elegance. The antler is useful for some things also, a digging point or a napping tool, if you had to.

I'm resisting the very strong impulse to throw it ;-)) Makes a great bushcraft piece and if you happen to run into a Whale that needs cutting up you have the right tool ;-))

Robin, you didn't have to make an ulu just because of me. You know I have a good deal of experience with them and absolutely love the one you made. I didn't think you liked skinning axes though. Bring on more!

Hey bud, I like MY skinning axes ;-))))) Thanks for the kind comments my friend. Watch for more ulus, found some pics of different early styles.
Thanks Dusty, thanks Odie

Good deal. What did you use to make the moose antler so dark? Makes a great looking piece.
