While walking past my wife’s herb chopper I noticed and interesting optical illusion in the chopping blade reflecting the brown band in the board. The stainless steel blade look transparent to me so I grabbed my camera and photographed it.

Interesting. I’ve not seen one of these before.
I looked it up and found out that it’s called a ulu knife. A ulu, who knew?
Doesn’t the little wooden holder for the ulu get in the way when chopping herbs?
Or is it removable from the cutting board?
