Unveiling the Uniqueness of Alaskan Ulu Knives

Alaskan Ulu knives, characterized by their distinctive curved shape, are far more than just kitchen utensils. They are timeless practicality and tradition symbols deeply rooted in Alaska's indigenous cultures. With their crescent-shaped blades and ergonomic handles, Alaskan Ulu knives excel at various culinary tasks, including skinning, chopping, cutting, and slicing.

At B Merry Studio, craftsmanship is not just a skill; it's a legacy. They take immense pride in their commitment to crafting authentic Alaskan Ulu knives that epitomize Alaska's rich heritage and craftsmanship. The handles of their Ulu knives are painstakingly hand-carved from an array of natural materials sourced from the Alaskan wilderness. These materials include wood, Dymondwood (resin-impregnated Birch plywood), Moose antler, Caribou antler, Dall Sheep horn, Mammoth bone and ivory, Walrus oosik and jawbone, and Musk Ox bone. Each handle material carries a piece of Alaska's soul, connecting one to the region's pristine beauty.

Choosing the Perfect Alaskan Ulu Knife

Selecting the right Alaskan Ulu knife is a personalized journey, and B Merry Studio offers guidance on key factors to consider:

Size Matters: The size of a Ulu knife significantly impacts its usability for various tasks. Larger Ulu knives are ideal for tasks requiring substantial cutting power, while smaller ones excel at delicate slicing and intricate cutting.

Handle Materials: The handle material is crucial. For a comfortable grip, consider Moose antler handles, while Mammoth bone and Ivory handles offer elegance. Materials like Walrus Oosik and jawbone hold historical significance.

Handle Design: Handle design contributes to functionality, aesthetics, and ergonomics. Choose a design that complements the kitchen decor and feels comfortable during extended use.

Personalized Recommendations for Culinary Enthusiasts

B Merry Studio offers personalized recommendations tailored to individual needs and preferences:

Ulu Knife Sizes: A medium-sized Ulu knife (6 to 8 inches in diameter) is recommended for versatile all-purpose use. A smaller Ulu knife (4 to 6 inches) is ideal if precision is one's focus.

Handle Materials: The handles are made from moose antler for comfort, mammoth bone and ivory for elegance and historical significance, and walrus oosik and jawbone for their durability.

He says while holding said snatched waist of man with feminine hips. who want him? i didnt wanna draw his hat again btw cuz i said so. thank u @lunarobservatory for helping me choose for who got waist holding privileges

Here's a buncha random things i wanna spout btw

Ulu knives literally means "a woman's knife" plus i think he should be able to be pretty and feminine sometimes without question (nowadays anyone uses an ulu knife, its just traditionally a womans knife way long ago because they typically prepared food)

I like to imagine during breakup season, cuz all the slush n floods and stuff, he'd get sick atleast once every time and feel very nauseous throughout it

He has like 90% of the worlds sea otter population and theyre like, slendery ish but also BIG

hes tall brah he gonna need to eat alot but nooo Alaska's food security and natural resources for food is hella low

from what i read, in native alaskan culture way back when, you could identify as either man or woman as long as you worked the part and i think thats chill tbh

also poly stuff was very natural, sharing partners with buddies or having more than one partner because you can efficiently support them, it helped them with isolation

Alaska is the 4-3rd richest state, dunno wtf he doing with all that bank but he's got it 🤷

idk maybe Alaska has a fear of forgetting- not being forgotten per say just forgetting things. Esp cuz of how poorly he was recorded during his territory era and the destruction of his culture and languages I think he'd be terrified to one day just forget all of it

plus it would be ironic for his flower

forget me nots are said to be odorless, except for at the late afternoon and night, so maybe some states like to sleep in a room with him because aromatherapy or smth

he may be 60% federal land but man he 100% does not care

Five hours in and my hands are tired and my back is sore and I'm still not done, so the bear is going in the freezer and I am free to talk about ulus.

(Fleshing hides is much easier when the initial skinning is done neatly but bears are general not handled super meticulously in the field because you're suddenly standing next to hundreds of pounds of fresh meat in a place where bears like to be and speed is of the essence.)

So an Ulu (pronounced oo-loo) is a native Alaskan knife. I'm pretty certain it was used by the Inupiat first, but it could just as easily be Yupik or Aleut. Someone had a good idea 20,000 years ago and it stuck. The first versions were made of sharpened slate, which meant the blade was super brittle and it was not great at chopping. The long and short of it is that this is a knife for long smooth slices.

This is an ulu I found a picture of on Google. It's about the most basic modern version. My knives need scrubbing before they're fit for viewing. Fleshing is messy.

The point is, the handle is inside the radius of the blade. You hold a loose grip and work from the elbow or the shoulder for slicing. The there is a learning curve, especially if all you're used to is traditional kitchen knives, but you don't need to grip the knife because you're pulling it through material instead of pushing the blade into things.

Like any knife, you can get the cheapo version or you can throw money at it until you're hiring an artisan for a custom art peice that won't actually be used as a knife. If you're just curious there's a company called the Ulu Factory that makes knives that are pretty much tourist bait, but for 20 bucks you can get an ulu and a lil cutting board and a stand to display the thing. (I have 2 of these because I'm constantly misplacing my nice one and have bought emergency replacements)

My nice one, came from Eagle River Knife company and it's the nicest knife I will probably ever own. It's what I would take into the woods with me should society collapse and I need to rough it for a few years. Should you decide that for whatever reason Ulus are your thing, or you just want a knife that will outlive you, hit them up, but be aware everything is handmade and most is made to order.

Here's a thought, If you have repetitive stress injuries in your hands or otherwise impaired grip strength, And it's causing issues with your ability to use kitchen knives or knives of any kind really, Try using an ulu.

I mention this as I'm taking a break from multiple hours of fleshing a bear hide, and while my shoulders are a little sore, my hands are fine.

I will articulate this thought a bit more when I finish the hide.

Lost Tomb Lewks, Part 4

(Masterpost) (Other Canary Amusements)

Warning: vague Spoilers for Season 1 of The Lost Tomb Reboot

Look 17 is this gorgeous knife. 

I’m not a “knives are sexy” person, or I should say, I never WAS a “knives are sexy” person before.

I do have a strong affection for my Alaskan ulu kitchen knife, which is a godsend for anyone who is arthritic (me) or who is an upper-limb amputee (my family member) or is hemiplegic (different family member), but that’s as much attention as I’ve ever paid to a knife. 

Until now:

(*whisper* lick it)

Ahem. 

This is a kukri, a traditional knife of the Gurkha people in Nepal and India. It’s similar to a machete but it has a downward-curving blade, which means you can slash downward forcefully without bending your wrist. It’s excellent for cracking crustacean shells heavy chopping, as well as combat. Wikipedia doesn’t know why there are notches near the base of the blade but sure does have some theories. 

The handle looks to be a mix of metal and ivory. Hopefully antique ivory, or ivory from a properly-compensated voluntary donor. [That is a joke, the ivory trade is bad, don’t kill elephants, etc.] The case is topstitched leather with snaps to keep the knife from escaping.  Did OP just spend an hour learning too much about knives? She did. Does this mean she’s going to also make an effort to learn something about watches, a critically overlooked area of her menswear commentary? It does not. 

Look 18 is a classic explorer’s rig that looks like it came out of the Banana Republic catalog back in 1987 when the name “Banana Republic” still kind of suited the clothes sold there. (Google it and be startled) This look features dark brown trousers that are comfortably loose but still well-fitted and flattering. The shirt is two warm tans--a dark one for most parts, and a lighter one through the chest and inner arms. This gives it a nice depth and keeps it from looking bland. This outfit also features Wu Xie’s watch, which...is round? and tells time.

(more after the cut!)

This look features the first of many, many, many times that a character will shine a flashlight directly into the camera. Which makes it painful to watch the show on my tablet in the dark when my bedmate is asleep. Knock it off, characters!

Side Note: Wu Xie’s room has some good features. He’s got a giant bulletin board holding framed photos of all the adventures in which he was played by a different actor. This makes it easy to move his photo collection when his uncle decides to be a dick about the rent. 

Wu Xie’s bed is big and comfy-looking, with a variety of patterns and textures; appropriate for a person who’s planning on dying, or having an increasingly complicated love life, or both. This bed has room for a 100-year-old boyfriend, a 20-year-old girlfriend, and a thousand-year-old crustacean-brained princess, as long as everyone’s friendly. 

It also has a padded headboard, which is so important when you are dating a paper-mache person with a fragile head. This padded headboard also has curved head/neck support things that look just the right size for a person to grab onto with both hands and hold on for dear life. It looks antique, which means Wu Xie bought it for the aesthetic value and definitely not for fucking, right? Definitely not. For fucking. 

Wu Xie tops off Look 18 with the handsome swamp green coat from their recent tomb adventure, now completely unmuddy thanks to the world’s greatest dry cleaner, and with a strappy, practical backpack.

This warm-toned outfit and the buttery colors of the room are perfect for having an intimate, deeply truthful conversation...

....in which you gently crush your dear one’s heart into powder.

Look 19 is Xiao Ge’s blue hoodie and black pants combo, which we finally get to see in the full light of day. 

The hood is good for hiding in when you want to cry. 

This hoodie looks black in low light, but is actually navy blue with black piping, placket, and zipper. 

The ensemble features black trousers with an eye-catching vertical silver-toned zipper on the front pockets. Black boots and black tactical gloves round out the look.

Side note: each of the Iron Triangle guys has his own backpack style. Wu Xie’s is an olive green expedition pack. Pangzi’s is two-tone canvas and leather. 

Xiao Ge’s is black tech fabric, and features a chest strap to keep it from shifting around when he is kicking asses. The black straps coordinates well with the black piping on his hoodie. 

This outfit is a good one to wear while you exchange tender gazes of pure unconditional love with the guy who is crushing your heart into powder. 

I don’t need to look at Pangzi I know what Pangzi looks like and anyway I glanced at him already today.

Did OP slow these gifs way down purely to keep from giving anybody eye strain? She did. OP is considerate of your eyes. Speaking of eyes, awww. Xiao Ge sure is bros with Wu Xie, you guys. 

Look 20: Liu Sang! Liu Sang! Liu Sang!

Actor Liu Chang, a man who can wear literally anything and make it look fucking amazing, makes his entry onto the scene in a good, but understated, suit. 

Most of the suit is a charcoal grey, but it has a single light grey lapel and pocket flap, to keep things interesting. He’s wearing it with black Oxford shoes that have a small red, white, & blue tab poking out the back. So he’s dressed conservatively, but with a bit of flair. 

He’s accessorized the look with perfectly fine, but not very interesting, black wirefame glasses that he’ll replace with cooler ones after some time underground. He’s got a cartilage piercing in his left ear with a flat black oblong earring. Because of his extreme hearing, he’s wearing noise-cancelling earphones. 

This look says, “normalize the use of adaptive tech.” These are probably - in real life - not as effective as the larger over-ear headphones a lot of noise-sensitive people use, but their sleekness and elegance match the rest of Liu Sang’s accessories and clothing. 

Because of his noise sensitivity, Liu Sang pukes as soon as he gets out into the crowded street. He vomits neatly into a drain, however, in the way of someone who’s used to managing this symptom and isn’t going to let it spoil his outfit. We stan a neuroatypical king. 

More Lewks coming soon!
