Alaskan Ulu Knife - Authentic Arctic Cutting Tool for Kitchen & Outdoor Use | Perfect for Meat, Fish, Herbs & Camping

Alaskan Ulu rocking knife beats regular knives in use, especially for one-handed people who cannot easily keep item from moving, when cutting. / So as safe as any other knife you now own, or safer ! Buy it for everyday cooking uses. / Note; the Ulu company in Alaska has other models, fancy handles, and proper a Ulu sharpener. Rocking motion cuts sandwich with one hand. Rocking blade 6 inches long. Use it almost daily when cutting, instead of straight knife. Applied downward pressure(with handle ABOVE knife blade), while rocking, cuts items easier with speed, instead of the usual slicing movement across food. Leverage down while rocking Ulu, cuts better than slicing thru stuff, since when holding a knife handle at blade's end, leverage down force is lots less. / Works so nicely that surprised rocking knives are not common along with other utensils in stores. There are others around, but this ULU is the best. A Ulu knife gets sharpened at 15 degree angle on only one side (regular knife sharpens @ 20-25 degree angle on both sides). BUY ONLY the GREEN-HANDLED Ulu Sharpener from amazon for $13.75--correctly beveled @ 15 degrees for one side sharpening of Ulu's. Great for handicapped person, using one hand only to cut items, without having to hold item being cut with 2nd hand. Do not buy the black-handled sharpener for 9.25...not for Ulu knife. RECOMMEND, over a regular long bladed knife, for many APPLICATIONS involving cooking. (Note: review UPDATED on 8/28/2013). UPDATE Dec 2013-been using to slice my pizza, by rocking -- better than my pizza wheel ! UPDATE April 2014 - has been perfect - so easy to cut stuff with just one hand--without holding food much with other hand. My left hand is very weak, so hard to hold food.....makes slicing with regular knife, difficult. Not yet sharpened. as cuts fine ! UPDATE June 27 2014 - bought a ULU sharpener--the green one---blade got a bit sharper ! UPDATE 2/2/2017; staying shark and very useful.
