Another one for the “WOW” category, would love to hear reviews.

WORLD PREMIER FROM BOKER: ELEGANT KITCHEN KNIFE MADE OF FORGED STAINLESS DAMASCUS.

BOKER DAMASCUS ROSE

The question is not if you can afford to own one. The question is if you can afford not to.

The Boker Damascus Rose reveals the true afficionado. The blade and handguard are made of one solid piece, to provide superior functionality, in short, the ultimate “art for work.”

For the 140th Anniversary, the Boker knife manufactory presented a world premier – the unique knife series “Damascus Rose.” It excites the ambitious cook, and also fascinates the technically oriented knife afficionado. 180 layers of stainless Damascus steel are forged in a complex and demanding process to one solid piece of blade and handguard. The result – a technical highlight and an aesthetic delicacy, because the beautiful rose pattern of the Damascus continues seamlessly from the razor sharp blade into the handguard.

ERGONOMIC HANDLE MADE OF PRECIOUS WENGE WOOD, WITH DAMASCUS TAIL CAP.

Extraordinary look and functionality are also provided by the handle. For every handle, the handguard is handfitted with a tail cap made of Damascus, which makes an attractive yet rugged unit of handle and blade.

To enhance the noble character of this series, Boker Damascus Rose, we chose the exquisite wood, Wenge. Also known as “wooden diamond,” Wenge is one of the most valuable woods in the world. The beautiful dark brown color and the fascinating structure make it a very sought after material for high quality inlays and furnishings. To provide perfect ergonomics, the R & D Department of the Boker Manufactory designed a special contoured waistline shape which provides perfect control and makes working with the Damascus Rose a true pleasure. Every single Boker Damascus Rose has an individual serial number and comes in a presentation case with a certificate of authenticity. The Boker Damascus Rose – unique and representative of innovative craftsmanship from the Boker Manufactory in Solingen, Germany. Allow yourself the amazing feeling of owning something truly special.

Did you know…
…that in the past, no knives were handed out in eating establishments because everybody carried his own knife anyway?

Looking for an ULU?

reviewer — Wed, 17 Feb 2010 19:19:42 +0000

Do you know what an ULU is? Many people don’t, here is an excellent description by theulufactory.com

The Alaska ULU knife (pronounced oo-loo) has been used for centuries by Native people of the Arctic. ULUs were first shaped from slate – a stone that can often be found, in its natural shape, curve or tapered to a fine edge. It was this natural stone formation which inspired the unique ULU design. This design offered better control and versatility for all-round cutting tasks. Used to skin, fillet sew and eat, the ULU was and still is, their most popular cutting tool.

Natives decorated the bone and ivory handles of their ULUs with skilled carvings of animals and scenes of their everyday lives, and these ancient artifacts have become highly-valued Alaskana collector’s items. Many of them can be seen in museums throughout the state.

Today, the ULU has become a familiar sight in many modern kitchens, and its uses are as varied as the people who use it. The ULU performs every culinary chore with unparalleled ease and efficiency. From chopping nuts to slicing cheese and meats, the unique design of the ULU increased dexterity and leverage, making fine cuts simple and heavy chopping easier. The finely crafted ULU knife is sure to become one of your most valuable kitchen aids.

The ULUs’ versatility is not limited to the kitchen. Fisherman and hunters have also found the ULU to be their best cutting tool, as it excels at cleaning, filleting fish, and dressing game.

Here are a few examples of a traditional ULU & modern variations.
