Thank you for another impeccably produced review; I have really missed them! Now I have to go in search of cheese, sausages and crusty bread. Please excuse me.
Normaly I‘m not into these painted and decorated handles, but These got me. And because I can‘t decide which one I‘d prefer, I kinda see where it will end… 🤷♂️😉 Nice Video as always, thanks, Stefan
Vielen Dank für die Vorstellung dieser hochinteressanten Modelle! Das Casse-Croûte war aber auch wieder sehr schön anzusehen. Deine Videos sind sehr wirksam gegen Appetitlosigkeit!
I'm pretty sure the blade of the "sea" themed one is modeled after the london, not the Langres. (They are extremely similar but the Langres is very much a down to earth knife where the London is a traditional sailor's knife from Bretagne)
The carbon steel blades on the regular Douk Douks are very good though I'm not averse to a little N690c. They've done a good job on these knives and I must admit I'd quite like a knife handle with sea monsters on.
Hello Stefan, Awesome video as usual. Always nice to see a compatriot (though i'm Austrian) making great content for the knife-community. I wanted to ask if you consider making a tour of your collection. Would be really interesting to see all the knives you own.
Very nice. Hi from South west France. The only thing I don't like on those knives is the word ''Sons'' written in too big letters that draw too much attention. As far as I'm concerned, those ''japanese'' and ''navy'' douk douk are much more beautiful than the ''original'' Douk douk.
Herzlichen Dank. Wie immer ein phantastisches und inspirierendes Video. Einen Link zum Bezug von Käse und besonders der Wurst hätte ich schon gerne. Nebenbei, da könnte ich sehr lange zusehen, ist wie Lagerfeuer. 😉😀 Ich werde dein Video mal an der Fleischtheke abspielen. Alles erdenklich Gute wünsche ich.
Vielen Dank! Die Banderolen der Salamis (5:32 bis 5:43) geben doch genug Hinweise, um einen Händler zu finden. Der Käse heißt Morbier und darf in keiner gut sortierten Käsetheke fehlen.
@@StefanSchmalhaus 😀 Den Morbier hole ich ab und an. An guter Wurst mangelt es nicht. Ich wollte scherzen. Man muss halt etwas fahren. Deine Präsentation ist einzigartig und immer wieder schön anzusehen. Herzlichen Dank dafür.
i like them a lot, i use my Douk-douks and l’Écureuil frequently . One thing i'm not a fan with this Sons is the mandatory leather pouch , the knife is so thin that I don't see the point, i'd also like to save a few €.
The original and current occupants of Spain and Portugal are the original Christian (and Jewish) Spanish and Portuguese, the Medieval Moors were only temporary, culturally foreign, Imperialist invaders from overseas. They were the military and cultural "occupiers" with no legitimate claim of ownership nor governance.
@@StefanSchmalhaus I should apologize, my inner pedant got triggered and I didn't stop myself. As always, your videos are informative and beautifully produced.
Traumhafte Videos. Es wäre noch eine super Ergänzung wenn du dazu erwähnen würdest ob teflon oder Phosphor bronze washers oder z.B IBKS verbaut ist. (im meine Grundsätzlich - nicht dieses Video im speziellen)
@@StefanSchmalhaus Indeed though I believe there were equal numbers of meats. HA. Appreciate your reviews. I now own about 20 of the knives you reviewed and let the knife makers know. They are all beautiful pieces of art. Keep up the great work! Someday soon i'm taking a trip to France to visit knife region (maybe drink some wine also!)
Interesting knives and a compelling vid. Thank you. Did you find the thick blade stock was making them struggle a little as slicers? It looked like they were on the verge of failing on the softish cheese.
@@StefanSchmalhaus I'd hoped you'd comment on the blades, rather than soft cheese. But in answer to your comment on cheese, and in my experience, I'd disagree. You simply need to use a thin blade.
really nice video as usual ! The douk-douk is a really good companion for me , it's been for several years :) What about a review of the Thiers by Lierande?
@@StefanSchmalhaus I see.Because it's a young company ,and needs precise machining they had a few development issues , all fixed now . Did you contact them?I heard they have a good warranty/customer service ;)
I always thought the douk-douk was a knife for a sailor. One that landed and decided to stay in Africa. Being the time period I would have to say that Sailor is a man. Hence he is a father.
Please, for god's sake do some research on African history, especially on the Algerian War (1954-1962). The Douk-Douk was an assassination weapon back then.
@@StefanSchmalhaus Yup, I learned that when I researched it years ago. I just do not like talking about combat, and knives because of political reasons.
@@StefanSchmalhaus no, no. It is okay for people to not know the history I meant. They dont have to. They do not have a channel making videos about history of knives, you do.

Good to see you and you’re videos again.
They always have a kind of calm serenity. And off course e very interesting subject!
Thank you! I like the term "calm serenity". I always hope that my videos radiate a mood of reflection and calm.
Those are indeed some gorgeous looking knives.
Thanks for watching!
Another superb, classy video. Worth waiting for. Thank you, Stefan.
Thank you for your very kind words, Erik!
Endlich neue Videos! Gut!
Stefans Videos machen einen immer hungrig. Brotzeit ist die schönste Zeit!
Na, dann iss was! Guten Appetit!
As always perfect presentation, nice knives, nice background.
And as always i am getting hungry after watching Yours videos.
Schöne Grüße.
Thank you! I hope you have your snacks ready.
Thank you for another impeccably produced review; I have really missed them! Now I have to go in search of cheese, sausages and crusty bread. Please excuse me.
No problem! Enjoy your snacks!
Always nice to see you do a new video! I do like that "nautical' themed one.
It's my favorite, too.
Hello old friend, Nice to here from you again! Many of the knives in my collection are a direct result of your hard work, thank-you.
Thank you! I'm not so sure about the "hard work" part though ... 😂
Been dying to get the Great Wave one. Such a cool intersection of traditional folders.
It definitely is.
Normaly I‘m not into these painted and decorated handles, but These got me. And because I can‘t decide which one I‘d prefer, I kinda see where it will end… 🤷♂️😉
Nice Video as always, thanks, Stefan
Thank you! I guess we all know where this will end. You will buy all three of them ... 😂
@@StefanSchmalhaus it will be: all or nothing 😂
Great looking knives! Very well made!!
Indeed, they are.
Nice to see you again, sir. Great video as always.
Thank you for your kind words!
Another wonderful review from the knife video-master. Thank you, you made my day sir.
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
Beautiful présentation, thanks from France
Thanks for watching!
👍🏻
Slim and easy to carry. Useful knives indeed. Thanks for the video Stefan.
Thanks for stopping by, my friend! I hope you and your family are doing well.
doing good work ;) I like the Great Wave
I always look forward to your videos. Great job
Thanks for watching!
Excellent quality video. As always! Thank you!
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
Wonderful as ever, welcome back Stefan.
After a bit of a hiatus, it feels good to get back into the swing of things.
Nice to see a new video from you!
Great story and knives!
Thanks for watching!
Vielen Dank für die Vorstellung dieser hochinteressanten Modelle! Das Casse-Croûte war aber auch wieder sehr schön anzusehen. Deine Videos sind sehr wirksam gegen Appetitlosigkeit!
Vielen Dank für deine lieben Worte! Andere Leute beschweren sich sonst immer, dass ich sie hungrig mache.
Beautiful and so well portrayed. Always a pleasure.
And my pretty face wasn't even in front of the camera ... 😜
Shot beautiful as usually, lots of love my friend to you and your family, I hope 22 is going to be a great year for all of us!
Jong.
Thank you! All my best wishes to you as well!
Love the new blade shapes, but the handle could also be with a normal one color design. Good to see your new video.
Thanks for watching!
It's been quite a while since I've bought a knife and these Sons of Douk-Douk got a hook in me. I'm leaning towards the Japanese themed one.
It's an interesting kind of crossover between the Douk-Douk and the Higonokami.
Great video. Because of you I found my perfect pocket knife (Perceval L8). I use it since 2014 and it has aged beautifully.
Thank you very much! The L08 is one of my favorite knives, too.
For me, the best knive of thé World
I'm pretty sure the blade of the "sea" themed one is modeled after the london, not the Langres. (They are extremely similar but the Langres is very much a down to earth knife where the London is a traditional sailor's knife from Bretagne)

Wieder ein sehr schönes und interessantes Video. Danke Stefan
Vielen Dank fürs Reinschauen, Sabine & Michael!
Hello Stefan,

Thankk you! I sold a lot of my knives last year. I basically only kept my French knives.
@@StefanSchmalhaus Ok, thank you for the quick response!

Always a pleasure to listen to one of your uploads Stefan with the calm and clear explanation of whichever item you are filming 👍
Thank you for your kind words, very much appreciated!
Beautiful knives and a great presentation. The food you show looks delicious, but is probably considered less than healthy. LOL
YOLO 😛

Vielen Dank! Ich bin mir ziemlich sicher, dass ich IKBS bei allen Messern erwähnt habe, die damit ausgestattet sind.
i want the knife and am also now craving cured meat! :)
But you did notice that there are three knives? 😁

Great. Again...
Interesting knives and a compelling vid. Thank you. Did you find the thick blade stock was making them struggle a little as slicers? It looked like they were on the verge of failing on the softish cheese.
Soft cheese is always a challenge, no matter if it's a 2.5 or 3.0 mm blade.
@@StefanSchmalhaus I'd hoped you'd comment on the blades, rather than soft cheese. But in answer to your comment on cheese, and in my experience, I'd disagree. You simply need to use a thin blade.
@@ianrosie4431 Sure.
Get good video
really nice video as usual ! The douk-douk is a really good companion for me , it's been for several years :) What about a review of the Thiers by Lierande?
I tried one last year. But the one I got was flawed. I was barely able to open and close the knife.

@@StefanSchmalhaus no, no. It is okay for people to not know the history I meant. They dont have to. They do not have a channel making videos about history of knives, you do.
There's no point putting a nice design on something if that design incorporates an ugly and distracting logo.
First!
What an accomplishment! 🙄
@@StefanSchmalhaus It's an internet requirement. I don't make the rules. :)
