SZCO Supplies Ulu Knife

For the price, I was expecting some cheap knock off version of the higher priced versions of apparently the same Ulu, seen here on Amazon. What I got was a great utility piece with a quality handle and sheath. It could use a good sharpening, but so far it works wonderfully in the kitchen. Cutting firm cured meats with a normal knife is a strain on the fingers and wrist, but this Ulu does it with ease, since you're sawing straight down through the cut. I'm not crazy about the crescent-shaped finger gap between the blade and the handle. While it looks nice and cuts down on the weight, it actually is a detriment to the control of the blade. Normally, when using other Ulus, the spine of the handle rests on the pad of my thumb and my fingers extend down the flat of the blade when cutting. With the gap, that solid surface isn't there, so the knife can wobble a bit. I can adjust my grip and extend the fingertips down to reach past the gap, but it's a little awkward. Nothing that can't be overcome with a little usage time, and people new to Ulus won't notice the difference. It's just that you're rarely gripping the handle with your fingers around it (as you would a normal kitchen knife) if you want any firm control on your cut. Still, I'm very happy with this Ulu. I've owned a few, and this one is near perfect and an incredible deal for the price.

This device is very useful for food preparation. One feature that I like is the leather case. This allows you to store the ulu in a drawer without dulling the blade or cutting your fingers when searching for it. I don’t recommend washing it in the dishwasher. It arrived very sharp.

The knife arrived pretty dull. After putting an edge on it, it is a great knife. I butcher my own meat and this is a great all around tool. From slicing to chopping to fleshing hides this is a great knife for the price. The handle is comfortable for extended use and the blade holds an edge well. I will be using this knife for years to come.

Very well done and a good size... not very sharp/edger.. otherwise is a good product

I love this knife. I'm sure I could find more uses for it, but my favorite is dicing up ingredients like onions, potatoes, peppers, etc.

With somewhat limited hand function and grip this knife is great! It is easy to hold and with my hand directly over the blade it reduces the amount of force I need to push down with to get a well cutting knife. The sheath that came with it is well fitting and I like to think ads a bit of safety to storing the knife in my silverware drawer. This knife is easy to use, sharp and makes cutting so much easier. I love it!

Solid build and good materials. Not the sharpest knife in the world but it can be sharpened. Definitely looking forward to using in the kitchen.

used this for skinning and fleshing a hide. comfortable and easy to use. had to sharpen it a bit, but otherwise no issues

The Ulu looks amazing.Very well made and the blade is sharp ready to use. The handle is solid and well made.Included is a very well made leather case to protect the Ulu. I recommend the Ulu I purchased. I am very pleased

Ein Ulu-Messer. Super. Na gut - ich musste nachschärfen. Ansonsten ist aber alles super. Pizza schneiden, Kräuter kleinwiegen, Knoblauch & Zwiebeln "hacken", ... Bis jetzt bin ich von der Handhabung und der Schnitthaltigkeit durchaus angetan.

Es un excelente Ulu para el precio. El mío llego con unas imperfecciones en la cacha de hueso, pero nada que una lima y paciencia no arreglaran para dejarlo perfecto. También requiere una buena afilada.

El bisel de un Ulu de las tribus de Alaska es un bisel en cíncel, en este caso tiene un bisel principal cóncavo y el secundario venía muy mal afilado, tuve que modificarlo para hacerlo funcional, no se especifica que acero es, pero pierde el filo rápidamente, entiendo esas deficiencias por el precio.

Das ulu messer wie beschrieben gerne wieder ,weiter zu empfehlen
