The AD20 XXX is Demko's clip point folder on the Shark-Lock, built around a 4 inch CPM-3V blade in quarter inch stock. This one has Dayglow G10 scales, which is the loudest color Demko runs on this model.

The Shark-Lock
The Shark-Lock is Demko's own mechanism and the reason people buy these. 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.
CPM-3V
3V 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. Paired with quarter inch blade stock, this is not a knife built to be delicate.
Dayglow G10
Dayglow is the high visibility option. It is what you want if you set a knife down in the field and expect to find it again, and it is lighter than the titanium versions on top of that. It also makes this the AD20 people notice on a table.
Made in the USA
Demko 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.
Why This One Stands Out
A quarter inch 3V blade in a color you cannot lose. One only.
Proudly carrying American
