    Cool,I like the bowl too.😊 They feel awkward to use at first. But once muscle memory takes over they are easy to use.🤗

    It's not that they were woman's knives persay; it's that they were made for the tasks which women traditionally did. At least in Alaska but I figure this holds true for other inuit peoples

    I found one new in the box at a thrift store for $3.99 and had to try and see what exactly people use it for. I sure is sharp out of the box though.

    Doug, you can buy a brand new Ulu knife for $45 - $100 depending on the blade handle material.

    Blades were made from several different materials. Hammered copper( hence the city of Yellowknife, Northwest Territories), ground slate in the Western Arctic, meteorite iron, barrel hoops from broken/abandoned barrels, and occasionally ivory flakes. Modern materials include carbon steel carpenter's saws.
