Ratings and Reviews
A fun, historically-interesting peasant knife
+ Blade shape and grind: Slicy!
+ Handle is more comfortable than you think, but is not for a hammer grip
+ Carries very slim in the pocket, if carried vertically with some sort of belt hanger rigged up
+/- Exceedingly strong back spring makes it almost like a lockback
- Blade can easily be closed on the bail, making a deep dent in the edge

between this, a Mercator Cat and a Higonokami, get the Cat. It's far and away the best quality, and for not too much more money.
Read the history of this on Wikipedia; it is bloody.
However, they're all cheap enough that you should get all three. (for less than the price of an Endura!)
Interesting, historical, practical
Solid useful knife. The blade didn't come super sharp but just a little bit of sharpening got it beyond razor sharp. It is very easy to pocket carry, has a good stiff spring that once broken in after a couple days is great. I really like the historical aspect as well, and how it is still made with most of the same tooling and by the same family in Thiers, France. I also like how… read more the main spring is internal and not exposed. Can't go wrong.
Classic, Unusual, and Awesome
I love this knife. I have been working on a collection of traditional folders, and the Douk-Douk was one of the first ones I purchased. It is super slim, sturdy, and unique. I find that even though I have other knives (both traditional & modern) this one still finds its way into my pocket pretty regularly. It is easy to sharpen or keep sharp, it is invisible in my pocket, and it… read more slices incredibly well. The strong slip joint doesn't bother me, but it is something to keep in mind - to me it just makes the knife feel safer and more sturdy.
You need this knife
First and foremost, this is a truly classic knife in every sense of the word. This is like owning a piece of history. That said, the action is a tad bit stiff and needs to be worked for a while before breaking in. The blade itself is fantastic but could benefit from a patina to extend its life. To do this, dip the blade (not the entire knife) into vinegar for around 30 minutes or… read more until you see the blade begun to turn a slight green. At this point, you will have a high carbon blade that is rust-resistant while still retaining its natural strength.
Historical French Colony knife...
For the money, why not get yourself this historical knife and find out on your own why it was so popular. You won't be sad.
Amazing knife
Ladies and gentlemen if you are looking for a great, and I honestly mean great, EDC knife this is a go to. I've had mine for over three years and it never lets me down. Came razor sharp from Blade HQ, and in three days where as I was looking at a week. Lock up is great for a slip joint, and has a super strong back spring. Sharpening and stropping is a breeze with the high carbon… read more steel blade. The thinness of this great knife is also an added plus.
