Demko AD20 XXX - 4" CPM-3V Clip Point, Dragon Scale Titanium, Shark-Lock - Made in USA (DEMKO-AD20XXX-DSTI)

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 the Dragon Scale titanium handle, a milled pattern that gives the scales texture and depth you can feel.

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.

Dragon Scale Titanium

The Dragon Scale pattern is milled into the titanium rather than applied to it, so it will not wear off. It adds grip and it catches light differently as you turn the knife. At 10.5 ounces this is the heavy configuration, which suits a knife with a quarter inch blade.

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

Dragon Scale titanium was not on Demko's website when we listed this. It came home from the show.
