An Aleut knife is called a "ulu." It is a traditional all-purpose knife characterized by its curved blade and a handle that is typically positioned above the blade, allowing for a rocking motion during cutting. The ulu has been used by the Aleut and other indigenous peoples of the Arctic for various tasks, including skinning animals and preparing food.
