Douk Douk Patch

Douk-Douk Morale Patch

This round patch carries the emblem of Douk-Douk, the French folding-knife brand that M.C. Cognet has made in Thiers, France since 1929. It is a morale patch, meaning a non-issue insignia worn for personality or affiliation rather than rank or unit. Knife collectors, Douk-Douk owners and anyone who likes a recognizable piece of French cutlery history can put it on a pack, jacket or bag.

Features

• Official Douk-Douk Emblem — The patch shows the brand's figure in black on a white field, with the registered trademark mark beside it and DOUK-DOUK lettered across the base.
• Woven Construction — The design is woven into the fabric with fine threads, which keeps small details like the figure's face and feathered body sharp.
• Orange Background — A bright orange field surrounds the white emblem, so the patch stands out on olive drab, black or coyote gear.
• 60mm Diameter — At about 2.4 in (60 mm) across, it fits on a cap, shoulder, pack flap or pouch face without crowding.
• Merrowed Edge — A dense overlocked thread border wraps the circumference to finish the edge and stop it fraying.
• Made For Cognet — The patch comes from M.C. Cognet, the Thiers cutlery firm that owns and produces the Douk-Douk knife.

Brand And Build

Douk-Douk dates to 1929, when the Cognet firm in Thiers, the center of French knife making, introduced the name and its distinctive figure. This patch reproduces that emblem as a woven design on an orange ground with a stitched border. Its 60 mm round size is small enough for a hat and large enough to read at a glance on a bag or jacket.
