A Unique Handmade Kitchen Knife

 

Ulu single stem patterns are cut as one piece from recovered lumber mill high carbon saw blade steel. Quality carbon steel.

 

The heat treatment process includes a differential harden with clay in our forge and quenched in oil. With a torch we temper the single stem and tang tough then differential temper for strong edge retention in our oven. We leave the heat treatment colours and patina on the blade untouched for rust protection.

The patinas are a form of protective oxidation. Effectively sealing the steel against rust. We leave the patinas patterns and temper colours untouched on the blades created from the differential clay hardening and the differential temper. The patinas tell a story of how the knife has been made and where it’s from.
