What kind of blade will the Ulu most likely have? Plain? Spyderedge?

The Green-handled Ulu Proto is simply AWESOME!! It'll make a great utility knife. The only thing missing is the round-hole! <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

MaNcEr, if you've seen chris carraci's pendulum, then you know the blade shape of the ulu. it is not a new design, it is a old inuit skinning blade.

The Ulu is of Alaskan American Native design (I believe). An arc blade edge with a handle. It has uses as diverse as skinning whales and walruses to chopping vegetables. I believe "ulu" means "woman's knife" in Eskimo.
