  1. A colleague asked me if I could forge an ulu. I answered that I had absolutely no idea but I was willing to try. 

    So here is my first shot at an ulu. Made from old lawnmover blade like the 2 previous knives I have posted.

    Handle is japanese cherry.

  2. This blade is made from leftovers from the first blade. Old lawnmower blade but it holds a great edge. The tang is 2/3 of the handle

    The handle is apple with leather and copper (from an old CPU cooler) spacers, the bolster is japanese cherry (left from the first knife). The handle is a bit asymetrical but it fits my hand perfectly because of it. It was a scrap piece of apple and i worked with the form it already had.

    Sheath is made from scrap leather, handstitched with waxed cotton thread.

  3. The blade is the first I ever forged. Forged from an old lawnmowerblade. It holds a great edge.

    The handle is japanese cherry, a leather spacer and the bolster is a piece of teak(from an old bedpost).

    Sheath is made from some scrap leather and handstitched with waxed cotton thread.

    It has been sitting in a box for a couple of years so we (wife and I) used it as a christmas present for a family member.
