Mexican ulu use

That's impressive.

WOW! I have made upwards of a thousand ulu in my day, most in a traditional Inuit pattern, and nothing that large. That is really impressive! Now that I have all my body parts relatively intact, and can actually work in my shop again, I might have to give something like that a try.

Moosetrot

that was very slick looking , looks like a carbon steel knife maybe made locally out of circular saw blades.

Wish it wasn't a facebook video.

I've seen some good knife work before, but that guy is seriously good, lol

I bet he got good after the first thousand....

Reckon he could flesh a beaver?

I worked at Monforts for a season and it was mostly illegals, some of the hardest working folks and very dedicated and skilled at what they did.

Not quite how we block hogs at the locker lol, but that's pretty slick

Don't have to have Facebook to watch it

Would not want to meet him in a dark alley!

Looks like he’s done that before, very impressive.

where can I buy one or two of those knives?

That one looks homemade.

BillyTraps moosetrot builds them so he mentioned then I'd suggest getting New house 114 to fit a ivory handle on it .

That fella is a true artist with that Ulu that's for sure !

Very slick uluk work.

Some trivia: In Newfoundland at the height of the seal fishery there was actually a seal skinners union. Hundreds of thousands of harp seal skins had to be processed with uluit (remove fat from the skins) in a very short period of time late March and early April each year. Some of those people had to be pretty slick too as it was piece work.

Uluk is the original Inuktitut name but it has been chopped to ulu; uluit is plural. Uluk is pronounced to an English speaker: Ou look

yea but can he skin and flesh a possum???

How can I see it without that site?.....jk

I always enjoy watching people at work who are very good at what they do.

He would need a smaller “uluk.”

Very impressive! That's not his first one. Lol

Only a couple minor things I saw that we do differently but then it takes us ten times longer.

Just click the link, you don't have to sign up.

Bet that boy could peel lettering off football and not make it leak..
Dang slick.

Mac

any idea what knife he is using and where can i get one??

Neat

The Mexicans with little resources are very resourceful. Great video.

He good with it

I think I'd want a guard on my arm

The design of those curved blades along with the power one can generate due to the placement of the handle is pure genius. These are slightly modified stone age tools.
If you have never used one, you need to get one. I use a smaller one for beaver, otter and old grizzle backed coons. They are sweet!

looking at these I think that if using a hand saw blade were it is tallest near the handle , I have another old saw blade I might have to try this

I have seen several videos of people using that knife skinning hogs. While I am not dreaming that I could do anything near that, I want to find one of those knives. In every video I have seen the knives look identical, so somebody must be supplying them. Any idea would be appreciated!
