[John]

I know Ben may not approve of a douk douk club but what the heck he doesn't have one now it's mine,so he wont be joining this club  

Show us what you got and why you love the douk douk,I'll start it's a simple design and has the ability to take a scary edge  

Here's mine

I was thinking the same thing 

[Sean]

I'm in.    A couple of Douk's and a Higonokami thrown in for good measure. 

[John]

Nice one Sean  Higonokami next on my list 

[Sean]

Right on John.  Lee Valley Tools has them just in case you can't locate any.

Thanks Sean I would guess shipping would be more than the knife tho 

[Freudian Frog]

The Douk Douks scared me a little bit with their lack of a nail nick or other opening device and crazy sharpness so I sent them off to John, but I do still have one of thoe Musashi higonokamis and I must say it's both functional and beautiful.

[Benner]

I miss my knife. 








...oh no wait, no I don't.

MUCH better

I like the Higonokami's as well.  You really have to be on your game and keep your thumb on top so
the blade doesn't drop but it is a good slicer/cutter and yes I think it looks good as well.

so, how does one open a Douk Douk exactly?

Noooooooooooooo! I quite like mine  I was talking with Ben and said it's like marmite you'll either love it or hate it.

[ryan1835]

i dont understand them 

as usual ryan is being an idiot any one want to explain one?

[Benner]

What are you exactly wanting explaining?  It's a knife with a metal handle that folds and is a slippy.  There is anything to understand.

You don't need a nick as it has such a large surface.

it's a store in paris, not sure if they'll ship to the US (I only searched for the knives, haven't really looked at the rest of the site yet)

BTW if anyone needs help reading the douk douk website or any french sites, I know french so feel free to ask

Edit: they ship to the US, for 31 euros per order!!!

[John]

here you can find a good selection of Douk Douk 

[jzmtl]

Douk douk 9.62 euro, plus shipping plus VAT( though that's for inside EU only?) 38.62 euro, yeah I don't think so...

[Freudian Frog]

I believe I got mine from Garrett Wade.

My hands are naturally very dry and have no grip so I'm kind of scared of opening or closing these things, so I opted out for a Mercator K55K. ^_~

[jzmtl]

The problem I have with douk douk and mercator is they are way underhardened for the steel they use, if they take it to the high 50s I'd actually consider one.

[glorn]

Can I join?

Why do you always find the crazies to explain your things?
