SHOP CASE KNIVESThe AD20.5 from Demko Knives brings hard-use performance and innovative engineering into a refined everyday carry platform. Designed by Andrew Demko, this model pairs premium materials with the brand’s groundbreaking Shark-Lock mechanism, delivering strength, control, and reliability in a compact 7.625-inch package.
At the core of this build is a 3-inch CPM S35VN stainless steel Shark Foot blade finished in rugged stonewash. S35VN is known for its balanced combination of edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness, making it a dependable choice for daily cutting tasks and demanding field use alike. The Shark Foot blade profile offers a reinforced tip and a straight, controllable cutting edge that excels at utility work, draw cuts, and precision slicing. Whether you’re breaking down boxes, cutting cordage, or handling tougher materials, this blade shape gives you confidence and control.
Deployment is fast and versatile thanks to both a thumb hole and thumb stud opener. The blade snaps open smoothly and locks up solid with the all-new Shark-Lock, a mechanism engineered for strength and ease of use. Positioned along the spine, the Shark-Lock is operated by a ramp-like fin that allows for intuitive, ambidextrous manipulation while keeping your fingers safely out of the blade’s path. It delivers bank-vault lockup with smooth action, making one-handed operation feel natural and secure.
The handle features rugged Digital Camo G10 scales that provide excellent grip without excessive bulk. G10 is prized for its durability and resistance to moisture, temperature changes, and impact, ensuring this knife performs in a wide range of environments. The digital camouflage pattern gives it a modern, tactical edge while maintaining a professional look. At 3.8 ounces, the AD20.5 strikes an ideal balance between substantial feel and carry comfort.
A tip-up pocket clip configured for right-hand carry keeps the knife secure and accessible. It rides comfortably in the pocket without weighing you down, ready to deploy when the job calls.
Built with premium steel, innovative locking technology, and a purpose-driven design, the AD20.5 is a compact workhorse that doesn’t compromise. It’s engineered to be used, trusted, and carried every day.
