"The douk-douk is a very simple slipjoint knife, having no locking mechanism, but only a very strong backspring to bias it towards opening and closure"

Those knives were used by the french army in the colonies. You can see most of the collection here : http://www.hommedesbois.fr/couteau/couteau_poche/douk_douk/couteaux.htm Easy to find in France.

I use it for everything from gardening to opening coconuts.

Possesion in California is a FELONY!!! You can strap a machete to your belt or a shotgun to your back, but don't get caught with a balisong in your pocket!
