SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Demko Knives Shark Cub OD Green is a compact folding knife that blends innovation, rugged durability, and everyday practicality into one finely engineered package. Built by Andrew Demko, a name synonymous with toughness and forward-thinking knife design, the Shark Cub carries the same DNA as its larger siblings while offering a more streamlined size that’s perfect for those who value lightweight convenience without giving up strength. It’s a knife that feels at home in your pocket yet is always ready to deliver when called upon.
At the heart of this design is a 2.5” plain edge blade crafted from premium CPM 20CV stainless steel. This steel is widely respected for its superb edge retention, corrosion resistance, and overall hardness, making it one of the best-performing blade materials available. Finished in a clean satin polish, the blade showcases a sleek, modern aesthetic while retaining its functionality. The blade’s shark foot profile is not only visually distinctive but also practical, giving you a versatile cutting edge that can handle everything from detailed slicing to tougher utility tasks. With a slim .09” blade thickness, you’ll find it glides effortlessly through material while maintaining enough strength for more demanding work.
Opening the Shark Cub is fast, smooth, and satisfying, thanks to the dual deployment options. You can choose to flip it open with the blade flipper or use the thumb hole for a more deliberate, controlled action. Once deployed, the blade is secured by Demko’s patented Shark Lock system, a mechanism praised for its strength, safety, and ease of operation. This lock provides excellent stability during use while remaining intuitive and simple to disengage when it’s time to fold the blade away.
The handle of the Shark Cub is just as thoughtfully designed as the blade. Crafted from olive drab G-10, it offers lightweight durability with a textured surface for a confident, non-slip grip. The ergonomic shaping ensures comfort even during extended use, and the OD green color gives it a tactical, understated look that pairs well with the satin blade finish. At 4.37” closed and weighing only 2.9 ounces, the knife carries with ease in your pocket, never feeling bulky or intrusive. The tip-up pocket clip adds further convenience, allowing you to keep the knife accessible and secure at all times.
Measuring 6.87” overall when open, the Shark Cub strikes an ideal balance between portability and usability. It’s compact enough to disappear in your pocket, yet large enough to handle daily tasks with authority. From opening packages and cutting rope to handling precision work, this knife is versatile enough to meet the needs of anyone who appreciates quality cutlery.
