CASE KNIVES
High quality, extremely collectible handmade knives since the 1800s.
SHOP CASE KNIVESBuilt small but engineered to work, the Demko Nano Shark in 20CV with Fat Carbon Arctic Storm handles delivers serious capability in a compact, refined package. This knife carries the same no-nonsense design philosophy Demko is known for, scaled down for everyday carry without sacrificing strength or control.
Andrew Demko’s patented Shark-Lock anchors the design, providing exceptional lock strength in a compact frame. The spine-mounted lock is intuitive, ambidextrous, and keeps your fingers clear of the blade path during use and closure. Despite its size, the action feels crisp and deliberate, opening smoothly and locking up with authority.
The blade is crafted from CPM 20CV stainless steel, offering excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and clean cutting performance. It’s a premium steel suited for daily cutting tasks where reliability matters, from quick utility cuts to precision work. The blade geometry is efficient and controlled, making the Nano Shark far more capable than its footprint suggests.
Fat Carbon Arctic Storm handle scales give this knife a striking visual presence while remaining lightweight and durable. Swirls of icy blues, whites, and grays create a unique pattern on every handle set, ensuring no two knives look exactly alike. The handle shape provides a secure grip and balanced feel, while the overall profile stays pocket friendly for all-day carry.
Compact, tough, and purpose driven, this knife is built for users who appreciate premium materials and innovative engineering in a smaller form. It’s a standout option for collectors and serious EDC users alike.
