PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Dedfish Ulu Knife brings a traditional Inuit rocking blade into a handcrafted piece built for both kitchen and outdoor use. Its semi-circular carbon steel blade concentrates downward force directly over the center of the cutting edge, giving you more control per stroke than a standard straight-edge knife. At 4-5 inches along the curved edge, it handles everything from mincing herbs to rocking through vegetables with one smooth, confident motion.
What makes this ulu stand out from the rest is the synthetic stag horn handle, finished in a natural cream and dark brown mottled pattern that mimics real antler without the upkeep concerns. A single rivet secures the handle firmly to the full tang blade, keeping the construction solid whether you're using it daily in the kitchen or out in the field. The knife ships in a custom red leather sheath, shaped to fit the ulu's curved profile and built to protect the blade during storage and travel.
Carbon steel holds a sharp edge well and sharpens back up faster than most stainless alternatives, which matters for a blade used daily for repetitive rocking tasks. It also carries a more traditional character than Damascus; over time, the blade develops a natural patina that many daily users and collectors prefer over a polished finish. Keeping it in good condition is straightforward: wipe the blade dry after each use and apply a light coat of oil to keep rust at bay.
Dedfish Ulu Knife at JW Steel Crafts with a synthetic stag horn handle, single-rivet full-tang construction, and custom-fitted red leather sheath.
The History Behind This Blade
The ulu traces back to Inuit culture, where it served as a primary tool for food prep and hide work for generations. Carbon steel blades have been used in working knives for centuries, prized for sharpness and ease of resharpening. Staghorn handles have long been favored for their natural grip and rugged character. JW Steel Crafts forges this design by hand, keeping the traditional semi-circular shape fully intact.
Blade Performance
Carbon steel holds a sharp edge through repeated daily use. The semi-circular profile rocks smoothly across the cutting board without lifting. Placing your grip forward puts force directly over the blade for maximum control. This blade sharpens back up quickly on a standard whetstone when the edge dulls. Regular oiling keeps the steel rust-free and in working condition over time.
Handle Construction
Synthetic stag horn covers the handle in a natural cream and dark brown mottled finish. A single rivet locks the handle firmly to the full tang blade throughout heavy use. This construction stays solid through repeated kitchen and outdoor sessions. Synthetic stag horn resists moisture and cracking better than real antler over time. Full tang construction keeps the knife balanced and stable during rocking and chopping motions.
Best Used For
This ulu knife excels at mincing herbs, garlic, and small produce quickly and cleanly. It also handles skinning and cleaning fish well in an outdoor setting. Home cooks with wrist or grip concerns find the rocking motion easier to manage than a standard chef's knife. Collectors value the stag horn handle and traditional blade shape as a display piece. As a gift, it suits home chefs, outdoor cooks, and anyone who appreciates traditional blade craftsmanship.

Let customers speak for us
I'm very pleased with this tent after having it for two years I've been in the rain I've been in the snow and it's held up pretty good but the cover that covers it did not hold up that good but the tent is perfect
Really enjoy the awning. Easy setup and got a little rain on the first trip. Easy to adjust for the run off. Very happy with the purchase!
I am one of the earliest customers Astrodome, I bought it and didn’t set it up for almost a year. By the time we set it up, we were blown away by the beauty of this space we purchased it on a mountain ledge in our glamping retreat in Lake County California two hours north of San as much as I love this space there are definitely some challenges with it in our location. It might work better than other locations, but we have had problems with the stakes, slipping and collapsing in the ground beneath and with the prevailing winds, it did stay up and it stays dry, even in tornadoes, but because the wind hits it from One Direction coming from the coast, this is definitely been a challenge for us we are going to try adding some weight inside it. The guests absolutely love this space keep in mind that with those skylights it’s going to get hot in the summertime but what’s nice is in the winter. It heats up almost passive solar. it’s also wonderful with a woodstove. A very cost effective alternative to a geodesic dome! If you want to experience it stay in ours, on Hipcamp.
I bought one of these at Scheels and absolutely love it. Great design, has everything you would ever need in a first aid/trauma/survival kit. Have one in all of my vehicles now. These guys truly thought of everything
A complete coverage of possibilities for my project and needs.
I love my new tent stove. Costumer service was also attentive and great to work with. Thank you.
The mounts work perfect with the truck bed rack I have on. Thank you for the excellent line of communication. You guys never kept me in the dark. I will ordering from you guys again.
I was wondering if you are able to sell just two extra mounts or do they just come in a set of six.
The color was even better in person. For well, looks well made and was easy to fold up and put into the carrying case. There was a bunch of colored plastic pieces from manufacturing on the mat, but I was able to vacuum it right up so be careful pulling it out.
Although it took a little extra time the delay very of my OVS Truck Topper was great. Good price too!
Fully engaged with customer, helped me get the crossbar I needed on time!
Product worked out great for my rack setup.
Order was delayed due to manufacturer delays, but my questions were answered and expectations on timing reset along the way. Cross bars were in perfect condition and work great!
I was in the market for a 3/4 length roof rack for my 4Runner as I wanted an upgrade from the OEM rails but still wanted to retain a somewhat OEM look. I am very happy that I went with the Sherpa Needle. It is a high quality rack with the best install method out of all the racks I looked at. I like that it is designed so you don’t have to deal with a mess of silicone when mounting. It is also nice that the fairing sits just above the roof instead of resting on it so that the paint does not get scratched. I was worried about wind noise because of this but I am happy to say there is no added wind noise at all.
I am also glad I purchased this rack through Live More Outside. I shopped around and they had the best pricing considering I was able to get a discount code, shipping was free, and they don’t charge sales tax. Shipping was prompt and I received the rack sooner than I thought I would.
Overall I am very pleased with this purchase and I will definitely come back to Live More Outside as I continue to build my rig.
By far one of the best customer service! Nathan has been a huge help on any questions and quick to respond! Live more outside is top notch. We are getting ready to hit our first outing with our new RTT. Cant wait to test it out. We also just purchased a 270 awning. I found one on another website but wanted to keep my business with live more outside. Nathan price matched and beat their price! We will continue to keep our business with this company!
