CRKT® Onion Shakaulu® Razor-Sharp Fixed Blade Skinning Tool - #K900KKP This knife is the fusion of two ancient tools: the ulu palm knife and scraper of Alaskan and Canadian tribes, plus the cleaver. Both tools go back many thousands of years, and the earliest flaked stone ulus found date back more than 50,000 years. Designer Ken Onion has named the product for the shaka Aloha spirit hand-sign, thus it's the Onion Shakaulu®. Developed for large game animals, it is a versatile tool for heavy-duty tasks, with a gut hook, a fully curved Razor-Sharp skinning edge, and a handle that allows it to be used as a cleaver to separate pelvic bones, or even to quarter a large carcass in the field. The blade of the Shakaulu® is exceptionally thick and heavy, the hallmark of a traditional cleaver. It has a high convex grind for maximum strength. The blade is made of 65MN carbon steel for maximum toughness, and is black powder coated to resist corrosion. The handle is Twin-Fused® - first injection molded with a hard black polypropylene handle form, which is followed by softer dark green TPE plastic inserts. The handle is ergonomic, giving a secure grip in cold weather and while wearing gloves. For skinning, the Shakaulu® can be gripped high like an ulu, with the thumb on the thumb hole. For cleaving, it can be gripped by the handle. A special heavy-duty molded polypropylene sheath that incorporates a locking pin, on a flexible retaining strap, that goes through the tool's thumb hole allowing for secure inverted carry. A removable belt clip is included and is convertible left or right. The sheath has multiple slots and grommets to allow lashing to a backpack or pack animal.
