CASE KNIVES
High quality, extremely collectible handmade knives since the 1800s.
SHOP CASE KNIVESFor centuries, the ulu has served as a vital tool in the harsh Arctic, relied upon by the Inuit and other indigenous peoples of Alaska, Canada, and Greenland. The SZCO Alaskan ULU Knife honors that legacy with a modern interpretation rooted in both utility and artistry. Designed for precision and control, the ulu's signature crescent-shaped blade allows for a natural rocking motion, minimizing wrist fatigue while maximizing cutting power. Whether you're skinning game, slicing meat, dicing vegetables, or trimming herbs, this knife brings cultural heritage and cutting-edge craftsmanship to the forefront.
At the heart of this knife is a 5.5-inch hand-forged Damascus steel blade, shaped and layered to deliver superb edge retention and durability. The rippling grain of the Damascus pattern ensures that no two knives are alike, making each one a functional work of art. The unique curvature of the blade distributes pressure evenly, allowing for clean, efficient cuts with every motion. It's a design that's stood the test of time, reimagined here with modern materials and attention to detail.
The handle is crafted from polished bone and secured with solid brass pins, giving the knife a distinctive, timeless appearance. Smooth and ergonomic, it fits comfortably in the palm, offering a steady grip whether you’re working in the kitchen or outdoors. The combination of natural bone and high-performance steel creates an eye-catching balance between rustic character and professional-grade construction.
This knife isn’t just for chefs—it’s also a prized addition for collectors, craftsmen, and hunters who value traditional tools built with contemporary quality. Its wide, curved blade handles a range of tasks, from delicate prep work to heavy-duty slicing. And when it's not in use, it stands out as a compelling display piece, rich with history and rugged elegance.
The SZCO Alaskan Ulu Knife blends time-honored tradition with premium materials for a dependable, heritage-inspired cutting tool that performs as beautifully as it looks.
