Description
As a part of the life and culture of Inuit women for the last 4,500 years, the ulu - a multi-purpose cutting tool with a semi-circular blade and handle - has a great advantage over a conventional knife. With an ulu, its wielder presses directly down on the blade, providing the most efficient force, compared to the right-angle direction of applied force and the distance from the cutting blade of a standard knife.
The handle is most commonly made of wood, bone, or ivory while the blade is traditionally made of slate, a commonly used mineral used by many Indigenous cultures to manufacture cutting implements. More modern versions with blades made of copper and iron became more widely used as European explorers provided new sources of iron.
This antique ulu with a worn wooden handle and iron blade is a souvenir gift to all Real Tarzann Explorer’s League participants as a tribute to the history of mankind’s ability to adapt to our environment and celebrates the thrill of exploration.
