The Ulu is a knife that's very handy in the kitchen! The steel is a 440 c stainless, made in Alaska! The handle is made from Moose Antler, found in Alaska, and carved into the shape of an eagle's head. This knife is great for collectors of uniques pieces as well as completely usable in the kitchen. Great for fine chopping and herbs it's similar to the knife Italians use called mezzaluna for their fine pesto sauce making. Approx 5"tall with stand, knife is just over 5.5"wide.
