Everyone should have an Ulu, one of greatest utility knives ever, it slices, it dices, it chops, it skins, it scoops, it's a spatula, it's a pizza cutter, it's a scraper, it's so many things.

Combine it with a curved bottom wooden bowl and you got a food prep machine, the possibilities are endless.

T. Erdelyi nice post. I really want to get myself one of those.

Ulu's are very popular in the far north, often carried by Inuit women and some Inuit men. If an ulu is good enough for arctic bushcraft, then they're ... good enough.

You can clean it with salt and wipe it out with a fresh damp wash cloth, I've washed it with a mild soap mixed with water, rinse and pat dry, never let it sit in water or put it in a dish washer it'll ruin the wood and cause it to separate.

Dude I want one of those. If I ever want to stop buying cutlery I am going to have to quite bladeforums. This kind of stuff keeps popping up and invading my wallet.

I was given a Dancing Man Ulu by a member here in trade for some custom grinding.

My wife kinda raised an eyebrow at it like it was a joke.

It has become our go-to kitchen tool. Life wouldn't be the same without it.

My mother wanted a kitchen knife, I got her the same model as this one. She really liked both the knife and cutting board. The ulu is a great pizza slicer too.
