The Douk-Douk knife is an emblematic figure in French cutlery history, with origins dating back to 1929. Created by Gaston Cognet in the famous town of Thiers, known for its rich tradition in the art of cutlery, this folding knife was initially designed to meet market needs in Oceania and North Africa. Its distinctive name and design, inspired by a spiritual entity and deity from the Kanak culture of New Caledonia, is highlighted by detailed engraving on its metal handle.
The Douk-Douk quickly made a name for itself thanks to its simple structure, robustness and reliable mechanism. Consisting of a single ply of steel forming the handle, with an easy-to-sharpen carbon steel blade, it has won the affection of users and found its place in a variety of contexts.
Over time, the Douk-Douk has gone beyond its initial role to become a coveted collector's item and a reliable tool prized by knife enthusiasts the world over. Unchanged since its inception, its production reflects enduring craftsmanship and tradition, transforming the Douk-Douk into more than just a knife, but a true piece of history.
