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.

Best Makeup Remover!
Size: 50 Count (Pack of 1)
I’m in love with these cloths! I wear waterproof SPF moisturizer, foundation and mascara daily. Before discovering these cloths, removing my makeup was such a chore! Previously I had to use mineral oil to sufficiently break down the waterproof ingredients, wipe the messy oil off with a washcloth, and follow with my regular facial cleanser. Now, I only have to use 1-2 of these cloths to fully remove the products I use and follow with a cleanser! It’s so much simpler and less messy (the mineral oil would always stick around on my bathroom sink). Although these cloths cost more than the oil, they’re a time saver and I don’t put off/sleep with my makeup on anymore! They are very gentle on my skin and don’t leave any scent behind. Highly recommend these!

Excellent for sensitive skin/ allergies, best wipes I’ve ever tried!
Size: 50 Count (Pack of 1)
These are the best makeup removing wipes I’ve ever tried and that’s saying a lot. They are incredible for removing waterproof mascara and zinc sunscreens! For so long I avoided these products, but thanks to these makeup-removing wipes, I no longer have post-sunscreen breakouts and I can easily remove my eye makeup without pulling out any eyelashes. They’re very good for sensitive skin, too. Other makeup removing wipes (including those specifically formulated with natural ingredients for sensitive skin) caused me to have reactions. The Clinique wipes cause me no problems, stinging, or redness. With 50 wipes in a pack, they last a really long time. Really good product, total game-changer. My skin looks wonderful after using them.

They work really well!
Size: 50 Count (Pack of 1)
These makeup removers work great for taking off my makeup. I always wash my face after with a professional skin care line with microfiber cloths, so if you are looking for something to do all the things, maybe they aren't for you, but I need something to remove makeup, and they do the best job!

Best make up removing wipes.
Size: 50 Count (Pack of 1)
These are the only makeup removing wipes I can use. They don’t burn my eyes and they remove the makeup very well. I do recommend staring them upside down so that the pads that are at the other end stay moist and are able to remove the make up without any issue. Highly recommend. Durable and don’t tear. Great product. Great price point. I have them on a subscribe and save.
