For thousands of years, the indigenous Eskimo and Indian tribes of Alaska used Ulu knives in their daily lives. The Ulu knives we offer, made right here in Alaska, are prized not only for their history and their unparalleled functionality but also for their art and symbolism.

Ulu History:
Ancient ulu blades were usually made of slate. The handles were made of bone, wood, ivory, or antler, and often become works of art in the hands of skilled carvers. Ulus were used for cutting meat, splitting hides, and making clothing. The materials have changed but the semicircular design that made the ulu so versatile and easy has endured. Even today many Alaskans prefer the ulu for its efficiency and ease of use.

Care and use:
Wash ulu carefully by hand in mild detergent and warm water. Please be advised never to wash in the dishwasher. Rinse well, wipe clean, and store on base in a dry area.

Uses include:
Chop and trim meats, skin and fillet fish, chop vegetables, and slice pizza. Use your imagination!

About the Brand: The Great Alaskan Bowl Company
Back in the 1800s, the demand for large, wooden bowls for making bread and mixing and serving food kept many bowl mills in operation. However, since then the wide-scale demand for these types of bowls has diminished, leaving The Great Alaskan Bowl Company is one of only a few mills in the country that still manufactures these unique bowls, using equipment designed from the machinery that was developed over 100 years ago.

By cutting only two to five 13" or larger trees per acre, The Great Alaskan Bowl Company is a responsible steward of the forest. This process promotes a healthier forest by allowing sunlight to reach the smaller, developing trees. The freshly cut green logs (40% - 60% moisture content) are cut into lengths the width of the tree and split for turning. This process allows us to create up to eight one-pieces, solid birch, hardwood bowls, ranging from 22" to 7" in diameter—all from a single split length.
