Ulu Factory, Anchorage, Alaska

I highly doubt if anybody comes out of Alaska with out an Ulu knife. It looks something like your cilantro/parsley chopper but can be used to cut anything that you would other wise use a regular knife for. We bought a couple of those ... yet to put it to use.

You can buy the knife anywhere in Alaska for $8 in Walmart to $17 in a National Park gift shop to one with the chopping board, knife et al from the Ulu factory for close to $50. We went to the Ulu factory, where you get to see how the knife is made.
