Western Arctic Inuit Ulu Knife

Had this Ulu brought down from Nunavut. Some of the local Inuit made it from a saw blade and a muskox horn.

The Ulu is a traditional Inuit knife, used primarily by women for general purpose needs.

There are several different styles of Ulu. This one in particular is an example of a “Western Arctic” Ulu knife. Other variations of the Ulu are specific to the geographic location in question.

This is a “mid-size” Ulu. Note the full-size Bic lighter for reference.
