The Demko Knives AD20.5 Shark Foot Coyote Tan is a standout in the world of everyday carry knives, combining rugged reliability with innovative design. Created by the renowned Andrew Demko, this knife is built to handle whatever comes your way, from daily tasks to tough outdoor jobs. With its high-quality materials, distinctive Shark Lock, and comfortable ergonomics, the AD20.5 Shark Foot is a top-tier choice for any knife enthusiast.
The knife’s 2.87-inch CPM S35VN stainless steel Shark Foot blade is designed for precision and durability. CPM S35VN steel is known for its exceptional balance of edge retention, toughness, and resistance to corrosion, making it perfect for an EDC folding knife that sees frequent use. The unique Shark Foot blade shape adds a practical touch, offering great control and an easy-to-sharpen edge. Whether you’re slicing, chopping, or cutting through tougher materials, this blade is designed to excel. The stonewash finish gives it a rugged, worn-in look that hides scratches and wear, keeping your knife looking sharp through every task.
What really sets the AD20.5 apart is its versatile deployment options. You can open the blade with the “fin” blade flipper, the thumb hole, or the ambidextrous thumb studs, giving you multiple ways to access the knife depending on your preference. No matter how you choose to open it, the ball bearings on the pivot pin ensure the blade deploys smoothly and swiftly every time, making it a joy to use.
One of the defining features of the AD20.5 is the Shark Lock mechanism, positioned conveniently on the spine of the knife. The Shark Lock provides unparalleled blade security, ensuring the blade stays firmly in place while open and offering easy one-handed disengagement when it’s time to close. Strong and user-friendly, this lock is a game-changer for anyone who values safety and functionality in their manual folder.
The handle of the AD20.5 Shark Foot is made from tough Coyote Tan G-10, a material known for its durability, lightweight properties, and excellent grip. Whether you’re working in wet conditions or need a solid hold for precise cutting, this handle won’t let you down. With stainless steel liners for added strength, the handle feels sturdy yet comfortable in hand, making the AD20.5 a knife you’ll want to carry every day.
Measuring 4.5 inches when closed and weighing just 3.53 oz., the AD20.5 is compact enough to carry without weighing you down but offers enough blade length and functionality to handle any task. The knife includes a right-hand tip-up pocket clip for convenient access, but it also comes with a left-hand tip-up clip for ambidextrous use, making it a great option for lefties too. The lanyard hole adds another option for how you choose to carry this versatile tool.
This version of the AD20.5 also includes a custom Shark Lock case and sticker, giving you a unique presentation piece to match the knife’s bold performance and style. Whether you’re adding this knife to your EDC rotation or giving it as a gift, these extras make it an even more attractive package.
