He cuts the steel out of an old massive sawmill blade. He makes his own micarta for the handle, and can provide a nice sheath if needed Sam......

Why not go with one from the native people who designed them? (907) 442-2990 They have pure jade up there, so will have that as a handle, or caribou antler, or musk ox antler. When I broke my dog sled hauling caribou, they let me bring my sled in there to do an epoxy repair. They had a full on crafting shop in there, with every tool I needed. They had lots of nice ulus then in 2019

Like the photo you posted it is a great blade, the handle is well made, and the sheath works well, The size is perfect to me unless you are cutting up Walrus or Whales like Agnes on Life Below Zero does.

It took me at least twice as long to skin out and cut up a deer. I went back to my regular traditional butcher tools and do way better. I guess a young person could learn the tricks involved in proper use with time and patience and practice, but I'm too old to go back to game butchering school when I can already do a good job
