The French "Douk-Douk" Knife
These knives have a storied & somewhat mythic history
Famous in the former French colonies for over 70 years and used recently for decades by the Army and in the French Foreign Legion, these are tough.

Nothing fancy about them; just real working, single-blade knives. The handles are gunsmith-style ferro-blackened folded steel. The blades are high carbon steel, hardened to Rc 50-53 and slightly hollow-ground using water grinding wheels. Blade thickness 2.5mm or 3.0mm, and blade length is 2-1/2 or 3-1/8", depending on knife size.

Because they are relatively light and flat, they are great for the pants pocket. Their robustness makes them exceptional for any toolbox. Neat tools for sure. Made in France.

douk-douk knives
Reviewed By:  Rod Smith (Vancouver, WA) 
I've owned a lot of pocket knives over the years some inexpensive and some very expensive but none as good as this douk-douk. If what you are looking for is just good plain old hammer forged carbon steel in a very sturdy handle then you need look no further. These things are built like tanks and I am sure they will take all the abuse a normal person would expose a pocket knife to and then some. They ain't pretty but they work.

Dependable and Well-Constructed
Reviewed By:  Jay L. (Troy, NY) 
Simple, elegant, and sturdy. Perfect for carrying in a pocket, as it's so slim, and it keeps a razor edge if you so choose. I'm very happy with mine for general tasks.

Douk-Douk Knife
Reviewed By:  Ross Brunetti (Santa Maria, CA) 
They're not made with 66 Rockwell Unobtanium, they can't be opened by just thinking about it, and (gasp!) they don't lock open. If the task at hand involves a lot of heavy cutting* and/or slick liquids, then look elsewhere - the grips aren't ergonomic or grippy.
What they do is not take up much space in a pocket or remove much money from a wallet, and cut ordinary stuff, like a pocket knife should. The square-ended blade design that holds the blade open much more strongly than other non-locking designs is just simple engineering at its finest.
* By "heavy cutting", I mean things like cutting the ribs away from the sternum when field dressing deer.
