The ulu knife, or uuluuraq in Inuktitut, has been a vital part of Inuit culture for at least 2,500 years:
-
HistoryThe first ulus were made from stone, but after contact with whalers in the 19th century, the blades were quickly changed to steel. In Alaska in the 1880s, the Iñupiat began to use steel saw blades to make ulu blades. The handles were traditionally made from wood, ivory, or bone.
-
The ulu has a semi-circular blade and a handle, with the shape of the blade ensuring that force is centered across the middle for ease of cutting power. The ulu's curved blade also stays sharp and intact for a long time without needing much maintenance.
-
The ulu is a multi-purpose knife that has been used for a variety of tasks, including:
- Skinning and cleaning animals
- Preparing and filleting salmon , halibut or whatever fish was in season
- Food preparation
- Chopping vegetables
- Cutting pizza
- Chopping nuts
- Cutting hair
