Jacks Walrus Jawbone Bear Handle Ulu

Yes, fossilized walrus jawbone is an incredibly dense and stable material that has been naturally hardened over centuries. While it is a functional tool, it should be treated like a high-end knife handle—hand-washed and dried immediately rather than left in a dishwasher.

The bear design is carved to provide natural finger grooves and a substantial palm swell, which often offers a more ergonomic, secure grip than the standard, simpler Ulu handles. It is designed to be comfortable for extended use during food preparation.

The jawbone is naturally fossilized material ethically collected from Arctic beaches by Eskimo artisans. Because it is found rather than harvested, no animals were harmed to create this handle.

Like any high-quality kitchen blade, it should be kept sharp using a honing steel or stone appropriate for the blade's edge geometry. Avoid using the knife on extremely hard surfaces like glass or granite to preserve the edge.

No, because the handle is made from natural, fossilized material, the color, texture, and grain patterns will vary from piece to piece. You are receiving a unique item with its own distinct character.
