Interesting bit of British history. Keep it coming.


'Ulu' is used in Alaska to mean an Inuit (Eskimo) woman's knife- it's a curved blade, usually about 4 inches long, topped with a bone or antler handle that fits in the palm of the hand. Vegetables are cut in a rocking motion rather than chopping. It beats any straight blade I have ever used.

The on-line dictionary is not familiar with the word.
