[Quarlow]

Suck it in I was sticking it out to hold the food so I could keep my fingers out of the blade. That was self preservation of my digits. ;D ;D

[Tenpoint5]

Better suck in that stomach too. :D ;D ROTFFLMAO

The stomach is not in the way CRG. Its a safety device to ensure other things lower don't get cut off!!

Looks like your gonna have fun with your new toyool there Q

[Quarlow]

You bet and I can't wait to try it on some salmon.

Q, was just having fun. You gonna make me find my ulu and play with it!

[classicrockgriller]

[Quarlow]

Hey there you go. So how did you like it.

[classicrockgriller]

Actually never knew what it was for till you got yours.

Mine is only sharp on one side. Is that right?

[Quarlow]

Yep and when you use it have the flat side to you and the bevel away.

[Quarlow]

If you go to the website they show you how to use it proper. You basicly rock it back and forth.

[classicrockgriller]

I can see how you could follow the meat of a fish to de-skin it.

Perceptive observation.  As I understand it, the ulu was originally used by Eskimo women to skin and clean fish.  Also, yours is relatively unusual considering the engraving.  Most Alaskan ulus are connected to the handle at the ends of the blade rather than at a single point in the center like yours (more of a Canadian style, I'm told).

[classicrockgriller]

I am sure mine is more for the tourist trap rather than true application of practicular use.

No doubt, but pretty cool anyway.

But now the back drop pic of the ulu is authenic Crown Royal cask #16

And I quote "Handcrafted and Finished in Cognac Oak Cask"

I was in the liquor store at new years getting a cheap bottle of sparkling wine for the big night( i really hate champagne) and looking around. I wanted to see if they sold this Makers Mark you boys yak about, which they do. They had a 26'r of cask #16 and it was over a $100. As I drooled between coughs and gags I thought probably damn fine stuff I guess I just have to dream about it. Even the MM was out of my price range. Now my drink is CR and I love nothing better but you boys have got some pretty fine taste there.
