The Universal Locking Utility (U.L.U.) is a folding knife that allows the user to rotate the blade out of the handle into a locked position for use as a Liner-Lock knife. In this position the blade shape and handle make the knife ideal for chopping. This knife also allows the user to slide the blade into a secondary locked position inside the handle with the sharpened edge out for use as cutting, chopping or scrapping tool which is also ideal for fleshing hides… And lastly, it is able to fold back into a pocket knife. The ergonomic handle is aluminum that is coated with a non-slip rubber. The main advantage of this knife is that the user has two completely different types of locking cutting tools rolled into one. One is a pocket folding knife and the other is a ULU type knife. This knife is very easy to clean and maintain because of it’s open construction and rubber handles. Without ever using the knife in the "ulu" position, it is a great camping/outdoor knife and can be very useful for many cutting and chopping chores Blade steel- AUS 8 Blade thickness- 3.5mm Blade length- 3 ¾" Blade width from spine to cutting edge-1½" Overall length open-8 5/8" Overall length closed- 4 7/8" Overall length ULU position-5¼" Aluminum handles with non-slip rubber coating Index jimping grooves on blade spine Full steel 1 1/16" thick liners Solid Torx™ screw construction Teflon™ washers
