Douk-Douk Folder 3-1/8" Etched Carbon Steel Blade, Blackened Steel Handles Popular in the former French colonies since 1929, and used by the Army and French Foreign Legion, Douk-Do uk knives have a reputation of strength and reliability. Almost elegant in its simplicity, the French Douk-Douk Knife is a single carbon steel blade with a gunsmith blackened style folded steel handle. They make perfect pocket knives since they’re flat and lightweight and are robust enough to use as an all purpose knife. The XC70 carbon steel blade offers superior edge retention and strength for tasks like carving, gardening, or skinning, but requires care to prevent rust and corrosion. This high-quality carbon steel, a traditional choice known for ease of sharpening, will develop a desirable patina over time, but must be kept clean and dry, and always apply a light coat of oil for protection.
