Wednesday Word: Ulu
Ulu - noun.
A traditional knife carried by Inuit and other First Nations women. It's an all-purpose tool that can be used for cleaning animals to cutting food. Contemporary ulus are made from metal, but, in the past, they were made from slate.
Below is one example--Wikipedia has a few more along with traditional names for the knife.
