Welcome Home...THANK YOU FOR BEING A PART OF OUR COMMUNITY

Picked this one up at the Tarheel show, from a couple that got it from Chuck Bowen "The Knifeman" while on a trip to Alaska.
Probably, no surely, a souvenir knife, but was signed by him.
Nice keepsake, but I'm still looking for another.

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.

Comment by Shlomo ben Maved on January 6, 2016 at 20:57

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.
