    had a couple ulus for years. They are a compromise of many different tools. An ulu is the worst of all worlds as far as tools are concerned. They do a really mediocre job in many jobs. Stop this nonsense, get a set of actual knives.

    Someone bought me an ulu from Alaska. It's 440 with a wood handle. I thought it was terrible at first, but after only a week of using... it does almost everything in my kitchen. I've been using it for 2 years now and have been thinking of upgrading my handle to horn or antler. Great video!

      @jarjarthestar 3 месяца назад

      yeah the copper river natives had copper but they did not have the ability to smelt or forge iron. Most of the ulus were obsidian and a rare few had copper because copper can be cold worked. Yakuts and Siberians didn't get iron until they traded with western europeans too. Yakut knives with originally made of bone

      @jarjarthestar 3 месяца назад

      No, they didn’t. They don’t have bog iron and didn’t mine. And no, they didn’t smelt steel from meteorites either. I don’t think you understand how difficult it is to refine and smelt iron. The reason their knives have that funny shape is because that’s how their bone knives used to look. They obviously used a particular bone with a convex/flat geometry

      @@jarjarthestar? You are babbling rubbish. Yakust arrived from the altai to what is now yakutia with iron and steel produching and bronze working. Steel is first observed in the altai and southern siberia and in the balkans.. The yakuts and their turkic ancestors are probably one of the first peoples to work iron in the world after the indoneuropeans and the near easter civilisations the nomadic indoeuropeans conquered in anatolia.. In 1000 bc there is already clear iron furnaces north of lake baikal. Iron working entered the mongolian steppe and southern siberia from the eurasian steppe via indoeuropean nomads prior to the indoeuropean invasion of india. The nomads used steel and iron weapons while others still had bronze for many centuries. The yakuts were a steel working culture when they invaded north into siberia. There is a wealth of information and artifacts bronze and iron in the museum in yakutsk

    Years ago on Nunovak Island, Alaska saw two women skinning a carabou with the ulu knife. I had questions, but they did not speak english and laughed at me. A few months ago was in Homer, Alaska and saw a woman deftly fileting a king samon with one. Was trying to buy one for my son, but only found cheap decorative blades. Thanks for the video as since living in Alaska as a young man had become facinated with this blade and the natives that used them.

    I thought i was Alaskan. Than i realized i never used an ULU. I'm a fake Alaskan. Thanks so much for this informative vid. I have been cleaning salmon for years just a few months ago i started looking at ULU's for this task. I am a tool guy. And can see the ULU is better than a normal knife for many things. The MacGyver's of the north. I have never seen any 1 better at problem solving and thinking outside the box than Alaskan natives my hero's. The real Alaskans. Not imports like me :0 i'm just a gu-suck > close to chee-kulck :0
