Got a couple in the kitchen too. Great choppers.

Best skinner ever invented--I have a number from when I lived and worked in the High Arctic.  I prefer the single stem (Greenland) pattern over the dual stem (Alaskan).

The Blade Tech was heavier but they have now added a channel to lighten the front heavy knife

Been looking at one, Shlomo.  Very interesting design, but cool for those that like an Ulu.

Blade Tech makes a folding Ulu as well

.............. n rough up the finish of the steel pretty good .. 150 ~ 200 grit sandpaper .. before proceeding.

That'd work .. go with some htdmn good adhesive .. result would be pretty unique !!!

Would be very "grippy" & comfortably soft.

Nice idea.

My first thought, also, Dale.  Don't want to go with a thick scale (like on the "diamond wood version) though.  Thinking on  some leather.  Got an old pair of work gloves that may add some character.

tap a couple of those holes & adding decent scales would be relatively straightforward .. just sayen'

The "imitation scrimshaw" version came also.  Not as impressed with it.  Instead of some form of plastic scales, this was not much more than a thin sticker (about like credit card material) that was glued onto the frame.

On the bright side, I'll replace them with something more appealing.

Here's what it looks like w/o the "imitation" stuff.
