This handmade Ulu chopper knife is built on a high-polished stainless steel blade measuring 5.5 inches across the crescent cutting edge. The blade carries a full mirror polish and a finger hole cutout in the upper body for a secure grip during heavy chopping tasks. The JW Steel Crafts Viking logo is engraved on the blade flat. The wenge wood handle measures 4 inches and sits over the blade spine with a mosaic cross pin and a silver pin locking the scales. A brown leather sheath with gold stitch edge is included. Total weight is approximately 188 grams.

This is the only Ulu chopper knife at JW Steel Crafts with a highly polished stainless steel blade, wenge wood handle, mosaic pin, and fitted leather sheath in this configuration.

The History Behind This Blade

The Ulu knife originated with Arctic Indigenous peoples of Alaska, Canada, and Greenland over 5,000 years ago as the primary all-purpose blade for skinning, food preparation, and camp tasks where a rocking chopper outperformed a straight knife on every cut. The wide crescent blade and top-mounted handle allowed the user to apply full palm pressure directly over the cut line — giving far more control on hide work and meat processing than a conventional edge-forward grip. Wenge wood became a preferred handle material on premium handmade tools for its exceptional density, tight grain, and natural resistance to moisture in field conditions. The JW Steel Crafts Ulu chopper carries that same Arctic cutting tradition in a high-polished stainless build.

Blade Performance

The blade is ground from stainless steel and polished to a full mirror finish across the entire crescent face. The wide Ulu profile positions the cutting edge in a full arc below the handle — the palm sits directly above the cut line, applying even downward pressure across the full edge on every rocking stroke. This geometry makes the Ulu significantly more efficient than a straight blade on chopping, mincing, skinning, and hide work tasks. The finger hole in the upper blade body locks the index finger for added control during heavy cuts. The mirror polish reduces drag during slicing and resists surface staining through daily kitchen and camp use.

Handle Construction

The handle is shaped from wenge wood — one of the densest hardwoods used in knife making, with a tight straight grain and natural dark espresso tone that resists moisture, swelling, and cracking through repeated field and kitchen use. The handle profile fits over the full blade spine and sits in the palm for direct overhead cutting pressure. A mosaic cross pin and a silver pin lock the handle firmly to the blade tang. The brown leather sheath with gold stitch edge provides safe storage and belt carry between uses.

My Review...
Format: Paperback
This is a great addition to the Simpsons' book family. It is just like the show, but you can spend as much time reading it as you want. I think this book is extermly fuuny. I have read pretty much every Simpsons' book and this is worth being next with them. I love how the Simpsons' comedy is different than other cartoons and even shows. The comedy is not always dark but it is not always light either. "Little Shop of Homers" was a great finisher. I wish it would of been longer, but it is OK. As with most people, one of my favorite parts in the Simpsons' comics are the in between things. For example, "Moe's Guide To Superstitions", "Bart Simpson-Master Of Disguise presents The Quick 'N' Easy, Low-Budget Do-It-Yourself Guide To COOL COSTUMES". Well, that is all I can really say. I suggest Simpson fans should read this. Keep them coming and I will keep reading.. Have A Nice LiFE! Ryan

Great characters!
Format: Paperback
A great story line that crosses over many different SW titles. I really enjoyed BT and 000 in Vader’s and Aphra’s titles, getting to see them in a great team like this is a real treat. With the Ewok TPB coming out soon, here’s hoping marvel continues making titles from the rich background characters of the world. And if there is a marvel exec out there, please give us a Jawa to follow!

Serious and Funny at the Same time
Format: Paperback
3-4 ABY This graphic novel is four issues and fills the reader in on events during a special Star Wars Crossover called Dark Droids, of which includes issues from Star Wars (2020), Doctor Aphra, Darth Vader, and Bounty Hunters. In D-Squad, R2-D2 is on a mission to find a way to save his friend, C-3PO, who has been taken over by the Spark Eternal. Apparently, droids are far easier to corrupt than organic life forms, and the Spark makes its way through many droids. Along the way, R2 finds a mis-matched crew of droids to help bring the Spark's scourge to an end. Ultimately seeking the help of Ajax Sigma, a droid from the High Republic era whose core is later found by Han and Chewbacca, and he is rebuilt in the age of the Empire. R2 believes Ajax's core and experience over various centuries might be enough to end the Spark's scourge. I love the art in this collection. One can't really go wrong with droids. We get some fan favorites from across the various series, as well as some new characters and old friends. The dialogue is, as you can imagine between beep-booping droids, quite top tier. Overall, it was a really fun edition and setup for the crossover.

Comic story is great, but actual comic arrived in terrible condition
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
Book arrived bent and warped. Same package contained two comics but only this one was warped. The paperback covers are also a centimeter too short width wise on both front and back.
