Sometimes it occurs to me that I was a little unfair to the Douk Douk in my original review.
As you know I accidentally bought the smaller Double Douk- when a larger almost the same
price one exists.
Let me amend that review and do a quick comparison video that’s only slightly less unfair.
We’ll call it milking the Douk Douk.
In order to not waste any more of your precious internet time let’s look at the dimensions
of this two sans blue lines because in comparisons this how we do it.
The overall length and weight.
Both are very light weight knives- lighter than most modern social media tactical blades.
And very thin too . The lanyard loop is not included.
Blade size and cutting edge.
If you don’t live in an area with judgy less tactical co workers or less tactical
knife laws go big.
Blade is made from a rust curious carbon steel.
Lube your suit curious knives to prevent rust.
Handle size and grip area.
Again loop isn’t included.
A loop is a blank canvas for a social media paracord and bead masterpiece.
Spine thickness and handle thickness.
The handles while not thick are still pretty stout.
Ok are we at tallnesses.
The construction of these two knives is identical as are the charming old world back alley murder
aesthetics.
The blade on the larger Douk x2 gives you slightly less crowded uhh… vine artwork
and the full Made in France sentence where as it’s just France on the smaller one.
Both have carbon steel blades, that rust and darken if you leave moisture unattended on
them for mere minutes.
Light coats of mineral oil or 3 in one oil help prevent corrosion.
And contrary to a non knife persons assertion that blades that rust suck- that’s not true-
it just happens to be the properties of the steel.
More carbon content in the steel the more rust is generally the rule of thumb.
The handle between the two is just a simple piece of rigid folded steel.
There’ isn’t much flex to the steel.
The blade is a harder than average pull for a non locking slip joint.
It’s a two stage motion grab with both fingers, pull stop and pull.
Close I like to hold the handle one stage move my fingers
then ease it close.
It’s a two handed open and close.
Handle is ok comfortable…
it’s not sharp on the inside edges, but I have held more comfortable knives.
Quick size comparison.
Large and small.
The large is preferable and more useful.
Both are stout rigid knives.
About as quote hard use as you can get in a non locking knife.
I prefer the handle grip and extra half an inch of the larger douk squared.
If you had to buy one or the other buy this one.
The loop on the back of the small one is slightly smaller.
These are dry condition knives, but you can use them in wet conditions if you mind sitting
moisture and bring your lube.
How about against the Spyderco Para Military 2.
This knife has a pocket clip, has a more corrosion resistant blade, costs about $140 and is an
easy one handed opening and closing- other than the price this is why I would chose this
knife to carry every day.
Opinel no 8.
It’s wooden and probably less robust if you tend to treat your knives like shit.
If you’re doing boring stuff not to worry.
Mercator.
This is a locking knife.
i like it.
You can get a pocket clip on it now for cheap right here in the US for about $30.
Carbon steel blade though.
Ok are we done?
Not if we haven’t batoned!
I think that was a grave over sight on the original Douk video which you should watch
after this one because I’ll link it at the end.
This is a pretty tough knife and it's a pretty reasonable $30.
