Just ordered the knife center exclusive version in 3v. The upgraded steel put me over the edge. So, anyone who was waiting for a more premium steel, the 3V versions are still in stock for now
3v + buy the g10 scales = higher quality knife
Solid video. I will pass on these...I am trying to find a regular AD20.
Can’t wait for these to come out!
Got mine in the mail today and I love it! My first demko. Def makes me want the AD20 now. 🤘🏻
Thanks for the updated review Bryan. I'm looking to pick one (or both) of these up and just set a back in stock notification at Knife Joy using your link. When they come back in stock if I'm able to order I'll be sure to use your link to help you out a little. Congrats on being so close to 25k subscribers. Also cool to see you doing an affiliate with Knife Joy. Looking forward to the giveaway, although I don't usually win stuff like that! Lol
Great review Brian Thank you. These should be a hot seller! Bravo Andrew, you deserve the best reaction for your lengthy tenure of “sharp” contributions to the knife market. I’ll buy 2 👊🏼
Picked up one at BladeShow and has quickly become one of my favorite knives. My wife even wants one as she can manipulate the opening as well as the SharkLock, which is rare for her, had to get her fixed blades to carry in her purse before. She wants an AD20.5!
I want one. It looks great. Demko makes innovative and great knives. Excellent review as usual.
Hey Brian, great review. I have one on order…can’t wait. Just an FYI, Jimislash just put up a video on the custom version, Titanium Demko Custom Compact AD-20.
I have one and I’m in love with it
I ordered the Sharks foot from American Edge knives today!!! I can’t wait to get it!!! Great review as always!!!
Innovative lock designs for sure.
Sweet knife Slicey. Will probably pick one up when they become more available.
Just picked up a shark's foot in carbon fiber and 3v. What a great knife.
I wanted the full size but good luck buying them so I'm happy with this one got it from dlt for $130 with discount. Great knife!
AUS-10a has performed great for me on the two Cold Steel blades I own that use it. I cut wire all day and they have only needed a stropping to maintain a hair popping edge.
Now that they can be found for $125, this knife is a must have in anyone’s knife rotation.
Have both blades on order with Knifecenter. Looking forward to these!
Thanks for the review. I was able to score one of the S/N versions from Blade in clip point. Loving the knife. It feels solid, just a smaller version of the AD-20. I may disassemble and knock down the underside, inner edges of the scales. Just a bit rough there. Otherwise, this will be in my pocket every day. Waiting for the release of the Sharks Foot!
My sharksfoot should be here Monday! cant wait!
I can second this, bought both versions at Blade and they're just great. More colors/Ti option would be icing on the cake!!
Got a sharkfoot at blade show. Love it. Packaging was awesome.
Really want one, can't decide which though! I'll have to wait anyways
need one now!!!!
Man with all these people who “won’t buy because of the AUS10A”, they sure seem to be selling them fine right now
I got one to see if I’d like the shark lock as much as the online peeps do. I really want the 20 but got some micarta scales for the 20.5 until I can pick up a full size. The new scales make it feel like a nicer knife, more substantial of an overall build and gets rid of the Cold Steel Lite feel of the grivory.
I really love the shark lock. Id like to get my hands on one to try out here soon! Maybe once we get a better steel ;)
oh man, i want one!
That is sooo cool 😎
I want to get one of these I've warmed up to it
I know liner locks and frame locks are FINE, have been around forever, and won't kill anyone...
But I still like ANY lock system that allows you keep your fingers out of the path of the blade. Axis, compression, button....and add Shark lock. I will own one. :)
Few months ago I had a chance to get a full textured ti version. I've hated myself everyday since then.
I'm just waiting on Flytanium to make some Ti scales for it and it will be my favorite edc knife.
I'm sold. I'll probably wait a little while to get one. I guess the only decision left to make is which blade shape.
I saw a video interview with andrew demko and he said they are planning on more colors and doing better steels like s35vn, 3v steels on the 20.5 next year
Would love a full Ti variant. Hell I'd go for just slapping some Ti scales on this model. Maybe the demko style textured Ti?
My only real complaints is the detent and you can shake the blade loose. I did manage to stiffen it just a little by adding some lock keying springs in the main spring. But would like to see someone like flytanium make a stiffer spring.
I hate the grey don't know why but i dyed mine a scarlet red now i absolutely love it
The grivory scales are very weak. When open, press in the middle of the handle and it bends easily. It just made it feel like cheap plastic. I ended up paying the extra and getting the titanium scales. It added weight to it, but compared to the grivory it was well worth it.
Heck yeah
We miss you
I feel like a cool battle to the death would be Spyderco Manix LW vs Demko AD20.5
The sharks foot blade gives off a bit of vero vibes
I prefer the ad20
Hot take but Aus10 > 20cv because it's tough enough to take to work.
Cmon knife community. So snobby and snooty about steel, don’t get me wrong I love awesome steel especially in Florida loving the Vanax on my Waypoint. $150 Aus10A, shark lock, seems good. I love my para 3 lightweight in CTS-Bd1N steel, they are now $110 I believe. Seems worth buying, if I could grab one on a drop anywhere 😆
Seems like a good knife to consider if it were in the $100 range.
Want but will wait. Maybe a upgrade on steel. The aus10 an price just hold me back
$250 Beaver bucks up here, cant justify that for the materials.. wish i could get the AD20 here
Steel snobs don't actually use their knives lol
The same factory making $175 Demko-designed AD-15s make $150 AD20.5s without a third party in between? That's more a comment on the value of the AD-15 than a complaint about the 20.5, but it does make you wonder if the prices will settle once the initial glitz has worn off.
Wish my clip point would hurry up and shippp
Pre ordered on Knife Center. Still haven’t gotten mine. Anyone know when they ship out? 🦈
i’ve been hearing end of the month at the latest
I've heard grivory, Ive seen FRN, which it is plz?
One and the same. Just what they call FRN. And it's Grivory. Benchmade calls it the same thing.
@@SliceyDicey
Ok cool. Thank you sir.
these will sell out faster than GPU's
I'd want one for $75. I'm sorry, the materials, design, and craftsmanship isn't worth $150 these days, considering the competition.
e.g.: The Ritter mini RSK is 10 bucks less, has 20cv steel, and is just as fidgety and EDC-useful. Same basic style, too. Function over form, yet not ugly.
You can also get a BM/RSK clone for $20-30 on amazon. You can't get this knife in any other form that is cheaper
I prefer a moose foot just joking good stuff brian
Just went to ebay an their selling for 350-375$.
Hmm.
This knife's proportions look a bit off to me. The blades just look too short for the size of the handle.
Legend has is.. Andrew Demko farts on each one of these individually before boxing them up. That's why they're rarely in stock anywhere.
Would like to see them approach someone like Reate or Bestech to make it in better materials at around the $300 mark.
I got one at blade show and took it apart. Surprisingly the liners are not aluminum. Everything is steel except the pivot screw which appears to be titanium since it was magnetic. So I think it’s just worth it, but my only complaint is you can shake the blade out and wonder if you can do this with the full size version?
To much going on in the grip area IMO, Finger grooves and contours look uncomfortable
Shouldn’t watch, because it will make me want a knife I can’t buy. Still gonna.
Nah, not $150. Paying more for the lock than anything. Get a para 3 with s30v and g10 at that price
Cruwear, G-10, USA,
find me a folding knife that actually fits the criteria, that's legitimately too good to be true
@@CKshouta Spyderco Para 3 /Cruwear
@@sueschenosky9079 discontinued sprint run. Hope they do another
@@CKshouta got one in a trade for a TRM Atom.
PM 2 Cruewear Micarta was around 145 on sale
That handle to blade ratio is terrible
Knifejoy sold out :-(
And since Snecx/CKF superlock collab isn’t happening anymore, this is one of only two production knives with this type of lock. And this is cheaper than the Sandrin.
