Ulu Factory — Local services in Alaska

Regular gift shop, nothing really special apart from glimpse of workers working on the knives.

If you really love and adore the Ulu Knife, you should absolutely visit. Otherwise, you can safely skip this and won't miss much.

The other perk of this place is perhaps that the knives are cheaper. Many other touristy place/ gift shops sells this too, and I recall seeing them charging $10 or more at other places, so if you are buying many of these knives, swing by!

Probably a 10-15mins unlike what the many tourist book which estimated a 30-45 minute visit.

There is a mini centerpiece which showcase artifacts of past ulu knives and how it have evolved over time.

Other than the knives, they stock pretty much the same gift shop items as the other shops...

They had a great selection to choose from and ranges from very affordable to a little pricey for very unique designed handle made of different materials including antler. They have a demonstration area that also has a showcase of different ulu’s from different areas and periods of time. Their knifes are authentic and made in house. They will do personalized engraving...

Wow, what an incredible store!! I was fascinated when I started learning about the Ulu knives and made this my first stop in Anchorage after a long day of flying from NY. I didn't realize they had so many incredible Alaskan gift items. I ended up buying 3 Ulu knives and a bunch of random gifts (including gold painted poop..yes poop..earrings for my sister!!) As if the amazing selection wasn't enough, the staff weny above and beyond to make me feel welcome. I will definitely be returning before the week is over for...
