A relative of mine who visited Alaska several years ago got me a ulu as a souvenir.
I sincerely appreciated the gift and it worked quite well for cutting up fresh herbs but, well, not to sound unappreciative but it was of "souvenir" quality and is now in pretty bad shape.
I'd really like to get a good quality, genuine Alaska ulu but it's not really within my realm of expertise.
I was hoping someone out there could answer a few questions:
1. How much would one expect to pay for a good quality ulu? It doesn't need to be ready for duty with the Navy SEALs or anything, I'm just going to be cutting up herbs. Still, it should have a decent edge and be durable enough to last a good number of years.
2. What should I look for in a good quality ulu?
3. Are there any Alaskan companies that make good quality ulus? Yes, I am aware of the phenomenon known as "Google" but I came to a forum so I could discuss with a human being rather than an algorithm.
I hope you can help!
Thanks in advance!
