High quality, extremely collectible handmade knives since the 1800s.
SHOP CASE KNIVESBuilt for everyday carry with a focus on durability and control, the Demko Nano Shark with a stonewash AUS10A clip point blade and gray GRN handles delivers dependable performance in a compact, work-ready form. This version keeps things practical and efficient, offering proven Demko engineering without unnecessary flash.
Andrew Demko’s patented Shark-Lock sits at the center of the design, providing exceptional strength in a small footprint. The spine-mounted lock is intuitive, fully ambidextrous, and easy to operate one-handed. It keeps your fingers clear of the blade path while offering solid, confidence-inspiring lockup that feels far more robust than the knife’s size suggests.
The clip point blade is crafted from AUS10A stainless steel and finished in a durable stonewash that helps hide wear from daily use. AUS10A is known for its balanced performance, offering good edge retention, corrosion resistance, and easy sharpening. The clip point profile delivers a fine, controllable tip for detail work while maintaining a versatile cutting edge suited for everyday tasks.
Gray GRN handle scales keep the knife lightweight while providing excellent strength and impact resistance. The subtle texture offers secure grip without feeling aggressive, and the ergonomic handle shape fills the hand better than expected for such a compact knife. It carries comfortably in the pocket and stays out of the way until it’s needed.
This Nano Shark is built for users who want a reliable, no-nonsense EDC that’s easy to carry and ready to work. It’s compact, capable, and designed to hold up to daily use without overcomplicating things.
