Ulu Knife with 6-inch Damascus Steel Blade, Rosewood Handle and Leather Sheath
The Ulu knife provides an efficient chopping action, using a rocking motion ideal for mincing herbs, vegetables, and meats. This blade is hand-forged from layered 1095 and 15N20 carbon steels, creating the distinctive, one-of-a-kind pattern characteristic of Damascus steel.
Built with a full-tang construction for durability and balance, the knife features a comfortable Rosewood handle secured with brass and mosaic pins. A durable, hand-stitched leather sheath is supplied to protect the edge during storage and transport. Note that as a natural material, the colour of the leather may vary.
This versatile blade is suitable for detailed kitchen prep, craft work such as leather cutting, or as a functional camp tool.

Before you order

Carrying in public. Under section 139 of the Criminal Justice Act 1988 (with equivalents in Scotland and Northern Ireland), it is an offence to have any bladed or sharply pointed article in a public place without good reason or lawful authority. Carry your purchase only when transporting it directly to and from a workplace, workshop, fieldcraft course, hunting estate, or other lawful use.
Use. This is a sharp working tool, not a weapon. Cut away from the body, keep fingers behind the edge, sheathe before storing, and keep out of reach of children.
Care. Wipe dry after every use and apply a thin film of mineral or camellia oil to prevent rust — high-carbon and Damascus steels will spot or patina if left damp.
