Demko AD 20.5 Shark Lock – S35VN Wharncliffe Stonewashed Blade – Coyote Tan G10 Handle – DEM09629

Demko Knives AD20.5 CPM-S35VN Shark Foot Folding Knife Tan G10

The AD20.5 by Demko Knives features the impressive Shark Lock and an even more impressive price point. After handling a plethora of MG AD20s, we can safely say that this is a very dutiful representation of that awesome mid-tech design. It’s slightly smaller all-around and definitely thinner, which makes this much more suited for everyday carry than tactical encounters. The Shark Lock mechanism is situated on the spine of the knife and operated with a ramp-like ‘fin’, allowing you to flip the blade open and closed at will. It’s probably the best thing about this knife and design, how quickly it can be deployed and ready for action. It acts as a blade launcher and a little wrist action is all it needs. The AD20.5 is available in two variations, a clip point and a shark foot sheepsfoot, and we really can’t think of a way to improve either one. Except maybe a versatile S35VN steel blade and durable G10 scales.
