Cognet DOUK-DOUK knife, 11 cm, chrome-plated with a rust-proof blade
The Cognet cutlery workshop was founded in Thiers in 1902. Here, the DOUK-DOUK knives – which are particularly popular and widely used in Africa – have been manufactured for almost 100 years, virtually unchanged.
Thanks to its flat design, this simple, charming knife is comfortable to carry. Its long tradition makes the Douk-Douk a special knife for both users and collectors.
The decorations and ornaments are particularly striking and distinctive. The blade is made from high-quality, rust-proof 14C28N steel.
The name Douk-Douk derives from a secret society called Duk-Duk. This secret society forms part of the traditional culture of the Tolai people from the area around Rabaul in New Britain (Papua New Guinea) in the South Pacific. The origins of this society lie in New Ireland; around 1830, Duk-Duk was integrated into the already existing Tubuan society and cult. The company’s symbol – the Duk-Duk – is a mysterious figure clad in leaves and wearing a helmet. It is reminiscent of an oversized candle snuffer.

Max Capdebarthes is a master leather craftsman located in the tiny (pop. 800) 12th-century village of Sauveterre de Rouergue in the south west of France. Each sheath is made from carefully selected genuine cowhide. Mr. Max Capdebarthes is considered by most knife manufacturers as the best leather craftsman in Europe, perhaps the world. About this sheath: Double stitching can be found on all stress areas to provide years of use without stitch failure. This sheath is made of 1/8 inch thick ultra soft cowhide full-grain leather. We offer this leather sleeve in 4 different colours (black, maya, choco, red).This sheath is for: The 9 cm is designed for 9 & 10 cm knives handle length size. (10,5 cm x 4,5 cm)The 10 cm is designed for 9 & 10 cm knives handle length size. (11,5 cm x 5 cm) The 11 cm is designed for 11 & 12 cm knives handle length size.

(14,5 cm x 6,5 cm) Consider this: Max Capdebarthes only works with full grain leather which is the highest quality grade of leather money can buy. This leather type comes from the top layer of the hide and includes all of the natural grain and natural marks. It is more expensive to buy and more difficult for to work with, as a result this is reflected in the cost to the consumer. Break-In period: Your new sheath may appear to be a little stiff at first, this is normal. As full grain leather ages it will adapt to the shape of your knife. Over time, the sheath will develop a much sought-after patina and a unique character that cannot be duplicated. The more you use it, the better it will look and feel.100% made in France
