After years of sports, martial arts, and a career in the Army, Doug Katz felt the toll it had taken on his body. Everyday tasks, like using a knife in his kitchen, had become challenging and painful. As an outdoorsman and culinary enthusiast, this was unacceptable. So, he set out to design a knife that he could use more comfortably.

Doug took inspiration from an ancient arctic knife called the ULU to craft a new kind of knife that put less strain on his joints. To his surprise, not only did it provide pain free cutting but the unique geometry made the knife more versatile and efficient than the traditional knives he owned.

And so the NULU knife was born, designed to help people with physical limitations like him maintain their independence and confidence in the kitchen without sacrificing performance.
