(One of the Medieval Kitchen Knives series of unique, ancient looking, high performance chef's knives)

This highly efficient chopping and slicing Ulu* style chef's knife has a sturdy 6" blade of L6 steel with scalloped spine, is hardened to HRC58 and forged to shape with the as-forged finish. 8-1/2" OAL. Maple burl scales with three 3/16" Brass pins. $302 SOLD

*The Ulu is an Eskimo (Inuit) design, used for butchering game, food preparation, skinning, and eating, dating anywhere from 5000 years old to much older. This highly functional design evolved over millennia, and has been found in archaeological sites, made from bone, stone, and ivory, pre-dating the Iron Age. It's quite nimble in the hand, and on a cutting board, does a fair imitation of a human-powered Cuisinart.
