Frequently Asked Questions

What type of steel is best for Ulu knives?

There is no single best steel for every Ulu knife. Different steels offer different balances of edge retention, toughness, corrosion resistance, sharpening ease, and maintenance. The Timber Arc Ulu™ uses D2 tool steel.

Are D2 steel knives good?

D2 is widely used for knives because it offers strong wear resistance and good edge retention. Like other knife steels, its performance also depends on heat treatment, edge geometry, use, and maintenance.

What is an Ulu knife good for?

The broad curved profile of an Ulu-style knife can be useful for controlled slicing and chopping tasks. Suitability depends on what is being cut and the technique used.

Is D2 a high-end steel?

D2 is an established tool steel commonly used in knife making. Rather than simply classifying it as “high-end,” it is more useful to consider its characteristics, particularly wear resistance and edge retention.

Does the Timber Arc Ulu™ include a sheath?

Yes. A cowhide leather sheath is included for storage and transport. Keep both the knife and sheath clean and dry during storage.
