Alaskan Pocket Ulu - Exotic Wood

The "Exotic" Wood Pocket Ulu is simply a version 2 with a set of laminated wood scales and a thumb stud. Much more comfortable than the "Sportsman" model, it feels good in hand. Very sharp, like all the rest.
My only complaint, with this little fellow, is the wood reminds me of "Frostwood". Really, it's Dymondwood, and why can't they just simply dye them in compatible colors, and go from there?

The earthwood is drop dead beautiful compared to what's often seen on these scales.

In Memoriam Comment by John McCain on May 21, 2015 at 12:08: J.J.- I feel your pain- Never been a fan of Frostwood or Dymondwood, but even Case had their go with this- They called theirs Earthwood--Mine is a 1986 4 dot E-254SS trapper with a Lightning "S" tang stamp-Not as outrageous a color combo-- but stiill paakawood by yet another name-

2021 Calendar Comment by J.J. Smith III on May 21, 2015 at 12:07: Not these, Jan. Handle is roughly 1.5 x 3 inches. Wanted to illustrate whats out there.

There are some nice options, though, that look good.

Comment by Jan Carter on May 21, 2015 at 11:15: would that size fit on the knife?

2021 Calendar Comment by J.J. Smith III on May 20, 2015 at 21:25: For some reason, Jan, it appears that this handle materal is used quite a lot by different Alaskan makers, for their knives.

Even with the UA scales, I like this one better than the sportsman version...

Comment by Jan Carter on May 20, 2015 at 21:06: I agree on the wood JJ, why not different shades of the same color even LOL

I am very glad it fits better in your hand though
