In Very Good Condition

The Inuit ulu is a traditional, multi-purpose cutting tool with a rich history stretching back over 4,000 years. Meaning "woman's knife" in Inuktitut, it features a distinct half-moon or crescent-shaped blade fixed directly to a centered handle. This design positions the user's cutting force directly over the center of the blade, providing immense leverage and control for heavy-duty and fine tasks alike.

U.S. Shipping: One Flat Rate Per Order

Every U.S. order is packed in-house at our gallery and ships insured via USPS or UPS, with signature required on delivery. You pay one flat rate for the whole order, never per item:

  • Fetishes: $8
  • Jewelry & Pottery: $15
  • All other pieces: $20

Buying from more than one category? You only pay the highest rate in your cart, so eight fetishes and a pair of earrings ship together for just $15.

Oversized Pieces

Large or heavy pieces, such as big pottery, baskets, rugs and framed art, are custom-packed and shipped at actual cost. As a guide, that's anything needing a box larger than 12" × 12" × 12" or weighing over 5 lbs. At checkout, choose Oversized – Shipping Invoiced Separately and we'll email your shipping invoice, usually within 24 hours. Contact us for an estimate before you buy.
