Reminds me of the MERCATOR black cat knife from Germany made by OTTER MESSER.

[@2ndchancegeorge]

Yep....lol...cannot afford it...yet. thanks for watching

[@mikemakesmusic]

Interesting knife but I love the historical and cultural info that you provided! Shows your passion for the tool.

[@mikebohling2280]

That's why I enjoyed the video. I've seen the knife up close . but knew only a little history. Thanks George !

[@2ndchancegeorge]

Thenkyou. I hardly touch on the history though...ut would have made the video an hr ling...lol. very interesting how it has-been used...both good and bad...lol

[@2ndchancegeorge]

That's what I like about the world wide traditional knives some great history behind most of them. Thanks again for watching

[@canadafree2087]

I have the black version. I don't mind a name stamp on one side, but blade decoration should be on both sides. It just seems like they they are trying to cheat you by making only the photo side look decorative. For the same reason I don't like frame locks where one side is a coloured G-10 handle and the othe rside is just bare silver metal. I love carbon blades but the Douk-Douk, Mercator, Japanese folders, depending on the model can all rust inside the handle making it hard to clean. I use wet/dry sand paper and popsicle sticks to clean out the handles if they rust. best to keep the handles oiled. If the handle was stainless, no need to silver plate it. I think the "silver" plate is just to keep rust off regular metal. It is younger than the Mercator, so I wonder if that is where the French got the idea?

[@MASI_forging]

Amazing knife 👍👍

[@2ndchancegeorge]

Interesting ...the history is really interesting. Thanks for watching

[@127rosalie]

[@MrRugercat45]

Aww you have a tuxedo cat! Love those, any cat generally. Unfortunately my buddy tux cat Dingleberry Jerry passed away a few months ago, he was a really good boy and best friend. My mother will take his ashes with her when she passes. I hope Mary lives a long and happy life, she’s a beautiful kitty.

[@2ndchancegeorge]

For someone who is not really a cat lover.....she won me over. Thanks for watching. Always appriciate the support

[@cocabandi]

Great knife, George. Simple yet classy. Other than its blade shape, it reminds me somewhat of my Böker Atlas. Thanks again for introducing us to interesting pocket carries.

[@2ndchancegeorge]

Pretty cool. Great history behind them. Bevsafe my friend

[@mikebohling2280]

Interesting knife ! Well done George !

[@2ndchancegeorge]

Appriciate it. Be safe out there 🙏

[@user-Kova15]

Modele Depose apparently means “Registered design” in French. I guess it’s a patent. Modèle déposé with accent marks

[@2ndchancegeorge]

Ahhh. Good I fo thankyou. Appreciate your support

[@EksNiHil0]

If you want to get rid off the etching on the blade, just rub a lemon on it, but it'll gain a dark patina. But if you plan to use it sometimes as a pairing knife then there's no avoiding it. Been using it for over 8 years, on jobs and as a pairing knife, almost daily, sits nice and snug in the small pocket above the regular pocket on some jeans. The "douk-douk" petit or grand (big or small) is the traditional one, black handle with a triangular "god" on it. Handle is black through a process mostly reserved for firearms: "bronzage" which in the usual meaning would be "tanning" but probably english has a specific word for that. That black handle fades to the original silver as it reacts with food or the sweat/oils of your hand. I like the dip in the back of the blade to put your thumb, never found it to hurt my hand even after a few hours of using it, but hey, different hand size and years using it 😊

[@2ndchancegeorge]

Nice. Great info appreciate the input. Thanks fir watching. Be safe out there

[@STUFFWEDO]

[@JoseGonzalez-yx6vm]

A little high on the price, but an interesting knife with the history and unique blade shape. Thanks for sharing it, George.

[@2ndchancegeorge]

Yep, surprised me as others like it were lower. I suppose it's what the market will bear. It was above. My normal budget. Thanks again for watching.

[@frednel4326]

I love knives but somehow i dont like the Douk Douk, ugly blade, ugly handle and wayyy too expensive for what it is, i could get a decent ganzo or a honey badger with that money lol, peace from South Africa ✌

[@2ndchancegeorge]

Lol...I hear you. But was looking forbold school traditional. Not my first choice of knife but interesting history. Thanks for watching and commenting "Boet". Always appriciated. Be safe out there
