Price of the Blade

[Talon]

One of the guys I work with has owned and used a Douk Douk for the past 4 years.They're about as attractive as Vanessa Feltz's arse but it's stood up to constant use and sharpens up really well.The blade on his is a tad on the soft side and he gets me to hone it roughly once a week.
Still as an everyday cheap knife it does really well.You can quickly turn them into a fixed blade (if you ever needed to)by hitting them with a hammer behind the pivot.
Hienne stocks the petite uk friendly size for under 15 quid.

Not a pretty knife but for a Uk edc with a carbon steel blade and a rich history I like them,i'll be ordering one when they're next in stock.The Svord Peasants are nice as well .I have 2 normal size peasants and the mini.All three have needed edge work but again for cheap everyday users that you don't mind losing they're good value,and they use L6 tool steel like Gransfors.
