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.

Black G10 Enhanced

Black G10 with an aggressive milled texture across the full scale. It grips wet or gloved, carries lighter than the titanium versions, and keeps the XXX looking like the work knife it is.

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

Picked up in person from Demko at the New York Custom Knife Show. The biggest AD20 in the lineup in the most no-nonsense handle. One only.
