The featured product is a custom Inupiat Ulu knife with a 5.5-inch full-tang blade made from Damascus steel.

The Ulu knife has a historical significance, originating around 2500 BCE, and has been traditionally used by Inuit and Alaskan Eskimo hunters. These knives are integral to various tasks, such as cutting meat, skinning game, and chopping vegetables. Due to their versatility, they are highly valued in Native Alaskan culture for activities like skinning and cleaning fish and game. The handmade Damascus steel Ulu knife is considered a suitable gift for Alaskans, survivalists, or hunters. Each knife displays a unique pattern in its Damascus steel layers. This type of steel is known for its impressive quality, with hardness values ranging from 59 to 62 HRC, making it harder and more durable than other steel types. The longevity of Damascus steel allows it to last for decades. The best Alaskan Ulu knives typically feature a curved blade, and an antler bone handle, noted for its durability compared to wood. Modern users, including hunters and enthusiasts, employ these knives for bushcraft activities such as skinning game and slicing vegetables. Historically, Indigenous Inuit and Alaskan Eskimo hunters used Ulu knives for food preparation and, if needed, self-defense.
Note: These high-quality Damascus steel knife layer patterns are unique (hand-made) on every blade; no two are the same pattern. Stag Horn bhone handle colors are unique and vary, but each one is a work of art, and you will love them.
