Ulu Factory - Gift shop in Anchorage - 211 W Ship Creek Ave, USA

Good place to visit and get a souvenir. One can get custom engraving on the blade. The knife and the cutting bowl are pretty good for certain dishes. Prices are very decent as well. Parking is plenty and staff is good except the person on the reception. Looked like he was not interested in job at all, not welcoming or making tour interesting.

We stopped by as a tour bus group and even though 49 people rushed into the shoppe the staff were incredible. The service was friendly and informative. You can get a custom handle and laser engraving on blades. Since I was flying out they offered to ship the items I bought no problem. As i write this I am back in Georgia and was just on the phone to order more and the service was still impressive. Must stop here !!1

The Ulu Factory is a cool store, but it is literally packed with merchandise and a lot of tours visit which means that it can get rather claustrophobic. But in the end its worth if you get a ulu which is a traditional rocking knife that is wicked sharp and chops herbs, cuts dried salami, cheese, etc like they are butter. Lots of ulu accessories although all you really need is an ulu and a leather sheath to prevent injury. Also some cool handles on some of the ulus. Take a look if you like cooking.

Absolutely a must see! Their gift shop has all the usual tourist stuff but at better prices and better selection. And it’s very interesting to watch the whole process of how they make the ulu knives. You can even have them laser engraved or customize the handles and in a matter of minutes, your customized ulu is packed and ready to go! I used the one I bought just tonight to cut up our homemade pizza!

We had already dropped our bags at the airport and was unable to purchase Ulus while we were in Anchorage (we took a tour bus from Seward, where our cruise ended, and only had an afternoon to kill). After returning home, I was really bummed, especially after someone at the airport told me they were the best quality. I contacted The Ulu Factory, they mailed a catalog, and I was able to order exactly what I wanted! Kudos to Melinda for great customer service!

Great place. We have gotten these knives before and our friends love them. Couple of them placed orders for us to get them. They are so nice here and yes they do ship them home for you by usps large flat rate box. Easily fits two large sets or knives and boards along with other small items. Pay the $18 to have them shipped home as you wont have to deal with any possible issues of getting them onthe ship or going thru customs in Canada.

I was there in September 2019 and it was a great place to visit. As a knife collector it was very interesting to me to watch as they made the Ulu knives. If you're in Anchorage I strongly recommend visiting the Ulu Factory.

We visited the Ulu Factory and we were impressed. Very interesting to watch how they make the ulu’s and how they have been used in history. A worker shared that they would ship our gifts home. This allowed us to shop and not worry about what could fit in our suitcase. We were there on Friday, arrived home (FL on Sunday), and our gifts arrived on Tuesday (after a Monday holiday). All items were packed with care (bubble wrap) and arrived in perfect condition. Quite a selection available. Definitely recommend this stop!
