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.

Orange G10

Orange is the middle ground between the loud Dayglow and the plain Natural. It is visible without being a traffic cone, and G10 keeps the weight well under the 10.5 ounces of the titanium versions.

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

Orange G10 was not on Demko's website when we listed this. One only.
