Description : This vintage ulu knife features a wide crescent-shaped carbon steel blade paired with a dual-sided wooden handle, creating a functional and ergonomic tool. Traditionally used in Alaskan and Inuit cultures for skinning and food prep, this piece reflects a more Western utility style, likely for mincing herbs or chopping in home kitchens. The steel shows age-related patina and wear, while the handle remains structurally solid, offering a charming, rustic look that collectors or functional tool enthusiasts will appreciate. Ideal for display, light prep work, or as part of a vintage kitchenware collection.
