Uluaq


half-moon 
handsaw blade
filed to an edge
for cutting, chopping, skinning
no knife as efficient
no knife sufficient
once you've used an uluaq

referred to as a "woman's knife"
by some scholar
or polar explorer
who wasn't smart enough 
to recognize the shortcomings
the fulcrum failure
of his own blade
