High quality, extremely collectible handmade knives since the 1800s.
SHOP CASE KNIVESBuilt for precise cutting and reliable everyday carry, the Demko Nano Shark with a stonewash AUS10A Shark Foot blade and orange GRN handles delivers compact strength with a focus on control and durability. This version emphasizes practical blade geometry while maintaining the robust engineering Demko is known for.
At the heart of the design is Andrew Demko’s patented Shark-Lock. This spine-mounted system is fully ambidextrous, intuitive to operate one-handed, and keeps your fingers safely clear of the blade path. Even in this smaller frame, lockup is solid and confidence inspiring, giving the Nano Shark a tough, dependable feel.
The Shark Foot blade is crafted from AUS10A stainless steel and finished in a durable stonewash that conceals scratches and wear from everyday use. AUS10A combines toughness, corrosion resistance, and easy sharpening, while the Shark Foot profile excels at controlled cuts, featuring a reinforced tip and a straight edge for precision and safety during utility tasks.
Orange GRN handle scales keep the knife lightweight while providing excellent strength and impact resistance. The textured surface ensures a secure grip, and the ergonomic handle shape fills the hand comfortably despite the compact design. Its bright orange color also makes the knife easy to locate in a pocket or pack.
Compact, rugged, and designed for control, this Nano Shark is perfect for users who want a reliable, high-visibility EDC that delivers premium performance without unnecessary extras.
