Forging an Ulu Style Herb Chopper 

Think you were talking about Torbjörn Ahman with the little handle trick.

Looks fantastic!

Just a key point. The Ulu is not an “herb chopper”. It’s a multipurpose knife that is for slicing, skinning, etc. it’s a fantastic knife

I did build 3 and we love it, good teachings Thanks

Glad you got a Trenton. I love mine. Good video. Thanks! As soon as the snow lets up I will get back to my first herb chopper.

Nice work! I am starting off in blacksmithing. I've made a few decent things, but this is pure awesomeness. Keep up the amazing work.

it looks very nice

Great job

Great project!!!

Great work! Need to catch up on some of these.

Amazing work! very good grind on the bevel!

I did build 3 much as yours but not as nice but finding them usefull. Thanks you helped

For those who do not have the benefit of a bandsaw or just don't have the patience for using a hacksaw. I have made similar cuts just using my cold chisel and hardy tools before. I did several knives making equal cuts in from each side and forged the tang out and yes, trailer springs are great for knife making.

Cool stuff Hoj.

awesome ulu

great videos man,

Great work! Some craftsmen just fold the handle over and the crease is not pleasing. You put a lot of care into your work and it shows.

I just found and subscribed to your channel. It's nice to see someone having fun at smithing. I'll be a forever viewer. Just one comment, though -- you should charge A LOT more for your chopper. That's a fine piece of work, worth at least three times more than you're charging. Don't short-change yourself! Forrest

great Ulo model

Bravo, bravo , bravo!

Thanks for sharing Sir,

Cool anvil bro

id think youre talking about Torbjorn Ahman

pull back those sweater sleeves, good way to get pulled into a machine and hurting yourself. learned that at commercial fishing, never have anything loose fitting while working with machinery.

I just called in an order Jason. Hope you receive it. Thanks!

carry that ball pien hammer effect into the handle for more continuity nice work !

So what is the theory with the water and scale?

this knife would make a good skinning knife with just a little adjustment here n there

just subed you i to made some ulu did mine out of circular saw blades that metal sucks to work with

Potential improvement: at 18:14 you start explaining how you come in from the side, and how you kind of rock the blade in two different dimensions with these exaggerated not-realistic-at-all gestures we all use when trying to explain motions. You then proceed to apply this technique. But at that point you fast-forward through the process, so we don't see the more subtle and nuanced movements you make in reality. It would've been nice if you'd at least held off on speeding up the video until after showing what it looked like in reality.

Nice job. What stops it from rusting

It was probablyTorbjörn Åhman

Do you treat them with oil? helps with rust.

Do you still make and sell the Ulu style urb chopper?

What kind of price tag do you put on these? I need to get some "change makers" because all my bigger stuff is hard to sell in these parts. To many welders around here claiming to be blacksmiths

those springs you cut to 5" long but how wide are they?trying to make this out of an e clip.

$50 is too cheap. That one turned out real nice. I’ve gotten $70-80 on them.

Did you make that hammer?

the Smith that cut the line in his Earb chopper is tim at big dog forge

lusher f

So, I'm curious why you didn't opt for a heavier hammer to begin with? Not being cheeky, just trying to figure out why people are working so hard when heavy hammers abound?

No thanks ulus are great Im not going to set to seen herb choper nor pizza cutter. Best of luck

100% not an ulu. Just an herb chopper.

Great project!!!
