Firecreekforge.Com Hand Forged Ulu Knife Herb Chopper Cheese Knife From Upcycled
Visit us at www.firecreekforge.com A unique and useful piece, this small Ulu knife or herb chopper is made from spring tooth harrow steel. After this quality high carbon steel spent many years in the field, we have given it a second bid on life. Hand forged on the anvil at our home shop here in Potlatch, Idaho, each piece is unique and follows the same basic design. Each Ulu is carefully heat treated to hold an edge and provide easy sharpening. The Ulu is easy to grasp in a pinch type grip, with the tang, or handle, fitting up into the palm for support and control. This is very ergonomic for many tasks, from chopping herbs, skinning, and shaping wood projects. The chopper comes in a 6" x 5" kraft brown gift box, making it a great presentation gift for special occasions.

Fire Creek Forge (home of Elijah Williams Knives) provides quality, one of a kind custom made knives and metal items, hand made from scratch.
I have been making knives for about 20 years. I first got into it after reading a book on knife making at my library, and I taught myself from there, gleaning information from other books, and the web.
Building knives was a good match for another early interest of mine, the outdoors, woods, and back country. I love the idea of being able to walk into a trackless wilderness with only a good knife, and have the skills to live comfortably. I haven't quite reached that level, but I continue to study and practice these skills today, and it serves well to inform my blade design and construction.
I also began forging some years back, and I enjoy making useful and decorative items with the simple and old methods of working iron and steel.

For Firecreekforge.Com Tactical Survival Mission Knife4.7There were some delays (some unavoidable) but the craftsman kept in constant contact with me when I emailed him, and would usually return emails within three hours or less. In my communications with him I found him to be honest, straightforward, and easy to understand. When I received the knife and sheath they were both in good order and ready to go to work, but there were some things I wanted changed. I contacted the craftsman, explained what I wanted done, shipped them both back to him, and he made the changes I requested and shipped them back. I now have the knife I wanted, and I got it the way I wanted it. I will order from this craftsman again,
