A spring loaded bar drops into a notch on the blade tang, so the lock gets stronger under load rather than weaker, and it disengages with a single motion that works the same for either hand. Demko holds the patent on it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe Compound Grind\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe compound grind keeps a thin, slicey edge up front and leaves more steel in the spine near the tip, so you get cutting performance without giving up tip strength. You can see the transition line on the blade, and it is what sets this one apart from the standard flat ground AD20.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCPM-3V\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e3V is a toughness steel, not an edge retention steel. It is the one you pick when you would rather roll an edge than chip one, which is why it shows up on hard use fixed blades and on folders meant to be treated like fixed blades.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMade in the USA\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDemko produces this line in New Castle, Pennsylvania. Demko also runs overseas production on other models, so it is worth saying plainly that everything we carry from them is the American made side of the catalog.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy This One Stands Out\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePicked up in person from Demko at the New York Custom Knife Show.
