Our take on the Gerber Downwind Ulu Fixed Blade Knife

The Gerber Downwind Ulu is a fixed-blade hunting knife built around the traditional Inuit ulu shape, with a wide 4.84-inch curved blade for rocking through hide, joints and meat. The 7Cr17MoV steel is a budget stainless that sharpens easily but holds an edge less than premium steels. Jimping and a control choil give the thumb and index finger a place to choke up for skinning and fine work. It suits hunters breaking down large game in camp rather than an all-round belt knife, and the waxed canvas sheath with a security snap keeps it secure on the belt.

  • Easy to sharpen 7Cr17MoV steel
Cons
  • 7Cr17MoV loses its edge faster than premium hunting steels

What people mention
  • Blade shapePraisedOwners say the ulu curve makes skinning and breaking down game faster and more controlled than a standard drop-point.

Questions and answers

What is an ulu knife good for?
An ulu is a rocking blade, so it excels at skinning, breaking down joints and slicing meat. It is less suited to piercing or fine tip work than a conventional hunting knife.
Is the Gerber Downwind Ulu good for hunting?
Yes. It is designed for field-dressing and breaking down large game, with a wide blade and a grip that lets you choke up for control.
How does it compare with a standard drop-point hunting knife?
The ulu rocks through hide and joints with less wrist work, but it gives up piercing and tip control. Many hunters carry it alongside a conventional knife rather than instead of one.
What steel is the blade?
It uses 7Cr17MoV stainless steel. It is easy to sharpen and resists rust, but it holds an edge less than premium steels like S30V.
What comes in the box?
The knife and a waxed canvas belt sheath with a security snap. No sharpener or other accessories are included.
How do I care for the waxed canvas sheath?
Wipe it clean and let it dry fully before storing the knife. Avoid machine washing, which strips the wax finish.
