Alaskan Ulu Knife

Born from the same wild country that demands the toughest tools, the Alaskan Ulu Obsidian Knife reimagines a thousand-year-old Inuit design with materials only the North could provide. The handle is carved from the strong, naturally curved branching point of a shed elk antler, its organic sweep fitting the hand exactly as generations of Arctic hunters intended: secure, tireless, and perfectly balanced for long hours of work.

At its heart lies a broad, crescent-moon blade of hand-knapped volcanic obsidian, black as a winter sky and can be honed to a scalpel’s edge. Bound to the antler with traditional sinew, the obsidian arcs in one breathtaking curve, ready for skinning, slicing, or ceremony with effortless grace.

Each ulu arrives with a custom-crafted antler display stand, contoured to cradle the antler and present the blade at its most dramatic angle. Whether resting on a mantel or in your fishing cabin, this is northern legacy made visible: functional art that honors both the animal and the ancestors who taught us how to use it.
