I was able two small ones in carbon steel with plastic handles, a small one and a medium one, the little one is coo,and a fifth pocket knife size. Got to find the other one.
I think one with a nicer handle was reviews by Stefan Schmalhaus some years ago, the video is still up in YouTube.

Carbon blades ,I wanted to check them out for myself . The blades are very slicy & thin,they seem to be pretty solid,super light weight .
One will stay here ,one goes to the State of WA,and one to Wisconsin

And these fella's that want to check them out ,they have the best of the best of cutlery , but still feel the urge to " check m out " as well :thumbsup:
A great hobby we do have ,at many levels

I have the largest version of that one - almost 5 inches closed - and it is one of my regular users. The edge holds up to a surprising amount of abuse, despite being whisper thin. I think the convex grind helps.

Appologies. I "thought" that historically being France's Colonial Knife at its creation (and from what I understand, was later an issue knife for the French Foreign Legion) the Douk Douk qualified.
Colonial knives were inexpensive, or given to the natives at no cost, during the "modern" colonial/empire period.

Most pesants had a non-folding knife from "biblical" times on, so I "thought" my medieval style celtic/norse style pocket/neck knife was also suitable. Sorry about that.

I think you convinced me that colonial knives with simple construction fit here too. Let’s enlist the Douks in the fight against the Dukes :cool::thumbsup:

Simple rustic fixed blades fit, too, as long as they are not too artsy…
