They've got their fans but I, and Ben, am not one of them. :-\  IMO cheaply made, uncomfortable and not particularly sharp, I just don't see the appeal.  Like I say though there are plenty of folks out there that disagree. :)

Again, where you been?  :D

There were a few issues with the first variant, but the new ones are meant to be pretty solid. :tu:

Amici,
As an Axis reenactor, the Douk-Douk kind of reminds me of this oldie but still a popular goodie courtesy of Solingen.. Here's a repro alongside a very worn out original..

Cheers,
Serge
