Sheepsfoot Douk Douk

[P_A_S_1]

Are these still made? Was looking for a small carbon (160) french douk with a sheepsfoot blade. I've found a few photos on line that were about 10 years old, not sure if it was a sprint run or not.

You've got me googling.
Somebody who says he has the full line doesn't have a sheepsfoot. Somebody who has old catalogs says there were sheepsfoot douk douks in the 1960s.
I think if they were out there, they'd come up in a search. If they have been out there, maybe the place to search would be the auction site?

Or maybe not. I don't see any there now.

This thread may help, it looks like it's got a few examples showing the sheepsfoot along with maker names. I'm not sure if any are still in production but it could be a good starting point:

Douk-Douk Question

Fred Perrin's Vendedouk is , IMO, a fantastic knife. Stabby, stabby but a very successful combination of the Corsican Vendetta and the Douk-Douk. And yes, the bigger sizes don't actually need the bail. I like your patina : you managed to almost match the gun blue of the Tiki. Nice !

C CujiWuji thanks for that link, really like the 'chopper' look of these and my dealings with that firm have all been good ( I am in the EU though)

Do I need another DD? No but I need it

Best buy several knives then be the same cost! Shipping costs have gone off the scale everywhere, then if you buy an American knife here there's 25% import tax to cough up as well They're trying to make our vocation extinct.....

Shipping to USA varies between 20/30€ but normally ships tax free. A few don't apply the discount, which is not fair. Don't hesitate to ask for tax-free.
The less expensive (and as safe if not safer) is sending in bubble enveloppe with registered mail.
