Dale Matson Custom ULU Skinning Knife & Custom Sheath

Product Description

Dale is an Alaskan Eskimo knife maker. I met Dale when he lived here in Arizona. He as since moved back to Alaska. I obtained this handmade ULU from him.

A  ulu is an all-purpose knife traditionally used for  everything from skinning and cleaning animals, cutting a child’s hair, cutting food and, if necessary, trimming blocks of snow and ice used to build an igloo.

Dale made the unique handle from a section of cactus that he  stabilized and dyed. He carved the Arizona desert scene on one side of the handle

He made the blade from a piece of L6 saw blade,  Matson D is etched on one side of blade

The cutting edge is 6 1/2″  The handle is 3″  4 1/2″ Top to bottom

I had a custom brown leather sheath made for the knife.
