How to use an Alaskan Ulu

The Ulu knife dates back to 2500 BC and is said to contain ancestral secrets. As a result, it is traditionally passed down from generation to generation. The Ulu's unique over-under profile allows for effortless motion and increased cutting force, reducing wrist strain and making food prep fast and fun.

I love my ulu, especially with the cutting board that came with it which has a round, concave area in the center that matches the curve of the ulu. It's like having an extra hand.

95% of people teaching how to use an ulu need to learn about them and how to use them first..

Where's the meat? This is a meat knife historically and still in the present. Herbs and such is just a bonus. The ulu was used for skinning, butchering, crafting, etc. I'd have thought we see it used as it was intended. Cool either way but feels like you're missing a big part of it's history.

LOVE Lamson knives! (Not an ad for Lamson). Been using their knives for several years. Quality!

How about showing how it was used for different cuts of meat which is what it was probably initially used for?

I noticed the blade is ground on one side only. Nothing in the video addresses how that tapered edge is utilized. Why only one side tapered?

It looks like a one handled mezzaluna .

Lamson, turn the music down. I can't even hear the guy, the music makes the video too annoying to watch.
