VENDE DOUK (A FRED PERRIN CREATION)

 Vende Douk, short for Vendeta Douk Douk (the vengeance Douk). Created by Fred Perrin in Collaboration with Cognet, the Vende Douk has all the attributes of the regular Douk Douk with a blade designed for punishment.  The trianfle on the handle represents Corsica, notorious for its tough people and its beauty. Imagine northern New Mexico with a deep dark blue ocean... The Douk-Douk, has its origins in the French town of Thiers. It was created by the Company Gaston Cognet in 1927. To this day the Douk-Douk is still made by Pierre Cognet, who is the director of the factory. He oversaw the operation for decades. It was in French Polynesia that the witch “Douk-Douk” became the name for Gaston Cognet’s creation. The knife also made it’s way to North African countries. In several of the countries the name “Douk-Douk” is often synonymous with “knife.” In North Africa, the character of “Douk-Douk” on the handle is sometimes replaced with that of “El Baraka” and in Oceania a “Tiki” character.
