Hi

These are Douk-Douk inspired knives called "Sons of Douk-Douk".
A new interpretation declined in 3 themes:
- Yatagan blade for the Moorish theme
- London for the Maritime theme
- Higonokami for the Japanese theme

Painted folded metal handle, N690Co stainless steel blade.
Creations of the Cognet cutlery in Thiers

I have two of them (gifts for Father's Day)

54 Jack and 6308 Whittler again.
And Mrs.Turkey came down from her high roost in the river birch, gathered up her four youngsters, and headed across over by the compost piles. Which is the direction she was heading when I stepped out with a leashed Manny. He was thoroughly dissatisfied with the restraint, but she certainly now knows a big yellow dog lives here.
One cup of coffee later, and here they go, back toward the corner in which they entered.
We’ll see what she decides to do.
She stops to grab a ripe wild black raspberry off one of my vines.

Quite humbling comments my friend! I’ve also been known to procrastinate as well. It’s perfect when everything falls together naturally with time, sort of makes us look like we know what we’re doing lol!!

Today’s carry is becoming a fave, it’s just so natural as 2019 was my 50th…

A great Friday and weekend to all

Jeff, maybe you don't always have poetic inspiration, but you've got plenty of inspiring knives, including this wonderful walnut duo! They inspire me to look for a knife with walnut handle.
(When I was a kid, my Dad bought a 2nd farm near us that had an old decrepit house with a big beautiful walnut tree in the side yard. Someone came in one night, cut down the walnut, and took it away! )

Thanks for your kind and witty comments, my friend! I especially like your Patience vs Procrastination observation. It’s all in how you frame it.

I learned about walnut piracy when we lived in the Missouri Ozarks. Yet another lesson in the disgusting side of homo sapiens.
My love of that wood led me to planting hundreds of black walnut trees. At first from nuts gathered in forest preserves, and eventually from my own trees.

You should look into the Case navy/rope knife~ single sheepfoot blade handled in walnut. I have been tempted, especially seeing it again here a day or two ago.
Case also handles their TL-29 in black walnut...

Watch pocket knife this week is a Case Blackhorn:

Big Knife this week is a MAM Iberica with linerlock (kind of reminds me of a toothpick pattern):

Miscellaneous Knife of the Week is a Zorro Barlow:

Nice trio of knives, Gary. For me especially this MAM, I love it.

I’m really enamored with this Dark Brew 83. I’m having a difficult time capturing it with a photo but the covers are phenomenal!

Poor dog today. He is normally King of the Backyard, where he runs off all kinds of invading verminous critters, but he is currently banned from the backyard.
Just after Manny had patrolled the fenced in backyard, done his business, barked at a shifty eyed tree rat, and whined when he saw a neighbor walking his dog on the street,

And Mrs.Turkey came down from her high roost in the river birch, gathered up her four youngsters, and headed across over by the compost piles. Which is the direction she was heading when I stepped out with a leashed Manny. He was thoroughly dissatisfied with the restraint, but she certainly now knows a big yellow dog lives here.

I love the simplicity of that gorgeous knife.

Nice mug shot of your knife, John!

Thank you, GT.

Maybe you'll enjoy this YouTube clip from a 1944 movie.

Boy howdy... I enjoyed that quite a bit. Thanks for posting it.
And if you like that type of music, here's one of my favorites; The Sons of the San Juaquin

Those are really really cool.

Two really awesome knives, Jeff.

 

[JohnDF]

One knife, the Charlie Lamb, for "Black Friday"
One knife, the Case/Bose Norfolk, for Rachel's r8shell "Fancy Friday"

I always worry about phone-related distracted driving, Todd, and now you're experiencing distracted fishing!

How true Gary.

Splendid pair, Todd!
Glad your Texas Jack turned out to be a good fishing knife (and that your knife choices are "data-driven" rather than based on superstition).

Oh man, that’s a good one Gary!

Presidential today and possibly this weekend. Have a new strop to use this weekend too!

I’ll take the Farmer disc golfing in the morning. Suspension clip works perfectly - I always remove it before posting here, however I always use one with the Farmer. Had a pretty good round last weekend, aside from one landing up a tree and one in a stream with fish swimming by as I was retrieving it.

I like that shield on the 83 too. NICE

Great grain in that dark wood Joker!

Thanks! I'm very pleased with it.

Thanks much, amigo!
About the verbosity, my family usually falls asleep before I finish a story!

One knife, the Charlie Lamb, for "Black Friday"
One knife, the Case/Bose Norfolk, for Rachel's r8shell "Fancy Friday"

And your pair is stellar as well!
Knowing you, both are poppin sharp, too.

All through high school and at UI, my friends and I were Frisbee ninjas. That was before somebody turned it into a golf game. Anything to make golf less boring!
I grew up with a large gravel pit between us and the Fox River, where we used to ride our bikes like banshees on the hills, hunt rabbits, and camp out. Now that gravel pit is a Frisbee Golf course.
