Hello,
I am intrerested in this project not only as an architect and designer, but as a blacksmith who can do the ulu himself.
Here are the first ideas I could develop:
-the structure where the blade is connected to the handle not in the center, but at one of the sides
- the folding structure
- the heavy, massive structure which can apply the impact technique (as an axe)
- the structure with additional support fior the fingertips on the side of the blade
- the set of different blades for different purposes (still any of them can be used for all the possible ourposes)
- the ulu with three different working blades (as it gas a rectangular structure) on three sides and the 4th side is a handle
Do not hesitate to request more info or just let me know your aim and i will specify my bid.
