SHOP CASE KNIVESBuilt for reliability and everyday carry, the Demko Nano Shark with a stonewash AUS10A clip point blade and orange GRN handles delivers a compact, work-ready design with standout visibility. This knife balances practicality with thoughtful engineering, making it ideal for EDC, outdoor tasks, or any situation where dependable performance matters.
At the core is Andrew Demko’s patented Shark-Lock, a spine-mounted system designed for exceptional strength and safety. Fully ambidextrous and easy to operate one-handed, it keeps fingers clear of the blade path while offering solid, confidence-inspiring lockup. Even in a compact frame, the Shark-Lock provides a sense of robustness and reliability.
The clip point blade is crafted from AUS10A stainless steel and finished in a stonewash that conceals wear and scratches from daily use. AUS10A offers a strong balance of edge retention, corrosion resistance, and easy sharpening. The clip point profile gives a fine tip for detail work while maintaining a versatile cutting edge for everyday tasks.
Orange GRN handle scales keep the knife lightweight and durable while offering excellent impact resistance. The textured surface provides a secure grip, and the ergonomic shaping allows comfortable control despite the Nano Shark’s compact size. Its bright orange color makes it easy to spot in a pocket or pack, combining practicality with style.
Purpose-built for users who want compact strength, reliable performance, and high visibility, this Nano Shark delivers premium functionality without unnecessary complexity. It’s a dependable, versatile everyday carry knife.
