CASE KNIVES
High quality, extremely collectible handmade knives since the 1800s.
SHOP CASE KNIVESBuilt for compact strength and reliable everyday carry, the Demko Nano Shark Stealth in 20CV delivers a sleek, high-performance design in a small, rugged package. This knife combines precise engineering with premium materials, offering users a tool that’s ready for work while remaining pocket-friendly and easy to handle.
At the core is Andrew Demko’s patented Shark-Lock, a spine-mounted locking system that’s fully ambidextrous and easy to operate one-handed. It keeps your fingers safely out of the blade path while providing solid, confidence-inspiring lockup. The action is smooth, controlled, and exceptionally strong, giving this compact folder performance beyond its size.
The blade is crafted from CPM 20CV stainless steel, known for its outstanding edge retention, corrosion resistance, and durability. Its stonewash finish helps conceal wear, maintaining a low-profile, tactical appearance while performing consistently across a wide range of cutting tasks. The blade geometry is optimized for control, making it effective for utility work, precision cuts, or daily carry demands.
Milled titanium handle scales provide a lightweight yet robust frame, offering excellent strength and corrosion resistance. The subtle texture from precision milling improves grip without being abrasive, and the handle’s ergonomic contours fit naturally in the hand. The overall design balances compact carry with comfortable control, making it an ideal choice for serious EDC enthusiasts.
This Nano Shark is purpose-built for those who want a compact, high-performance knife that blends premium materials with thoughtful design. It’s rugged, reliable, and ready to handle daily challenges with confidence.
