Is this EDC knife worthy of the HYPE? The Demko AD 20.5 Review with
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 авг 2024
- The Demko AD20 was an amazingly popular and hard to get EDC knife last year. This year the new hype is the slightly smaller AD20.5. Why is it so hard to get? The classic good looks? The shark lock? Infused with the spirit of Cold Steel via it's greatest designer Andrew? The more pocketable size? This video enlists the help of knife worlds newest knife HYPE man Metal Complex. We cover things like it's fidgetability, pocket size (only .38 in thick!), and compare it to other knives like the AD-15, the Spyderco Para Military 2, the Benchmade 940-1, the FINN Wolf, and a freaking sword.

😆 Fantastic. This was excellent! Thanks for letting me be a part of it ⚔
🤣🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thanks for playing along- it was great!
🤣 That was some good shit. Thank you both for that.
Thank you for having a good sense of humor metal complex that was freaking hilarious. I’m gonna laugh about the lifetime supply of Chapstick and avocados all day long
“There are differences in useable cutting edge… but really guys… it’s gonna come down to preference” had me absolutely rolling. 🤣😂
When you cut the cardboard it reminded me of when I was cutting cardboard earlier and it reminded me of that video where you cut cardboard
That was the funniest shit I've seen in a while lol. The segments from MC were so perfectly out of place lol. Man that was awesome
‘Merica, the infamous blue line, and MC cameo. Worlds collide!
Wow it's wierd hearing metal complex actually say "god damnit"
LOL I lost it at a lifetime supply of Chapstick avocado. I’m so glad you roasted metal complex that was hilarious you made my day.
Is there a way you can do a monthly video where you edit MC's reviews like this?! Dear lord that's funny! 🤣
I advise everyone to steer clear of paint guzzlers.
Some say you can still hear MC’s review on a windy December night
The mournful snap of the sharklock echoing off the cliffs…
Words cannot express the level of high quality entertainment that was achieved in this video. Nice collaboration with Metal Complex!
That's what I like about Demko, none of the shark goes to waste.
😂
🤣🤣🤣 the comments are as good as the video.
Metal Complex parodying himself is pure joy
The kind of editing magic you weave is just... magical. Shut up, it sounded funnier in my head!
"Paint guzzlers." Finally, the perfect term for expert reply guys.
No shit that's GOLD 🤣🤣🤣
"Facts mean nothing to my feelings!"
This was easily one of the funniest knife reviews I've ever watched. Love the MC cameos! More please! :) Oh, and I kinda want a Demko now. Damn you.
4:58 when he spastically opens and closes the knife fifty times, making fun of Metal Complex's fidgeting, had me rolling.
He whips his blade back and forth, he whips his blade back and forth....
You were, are, and always will be my favorite knife review guy.
Thanks dude!!
Lmao the back and forth to metal complex was great especially the end! Had me rolling. ❤😂
Glad you enjoyed!
the most verbally interesting, droll and genuinely funny knife-fella on the youtube. keep up the excellent work.
"Will I eventually lob the tips of my fingers off? I don't know, but I'm excited to find out!" Classic.
Lol the metal complex guest spot was awesome.
Your commentary in the first 12 seconds was enough for me to subscribe lol
Lynn be praised! Kick ass video!!
Hell yes! Two knife RUclipsrs who don’t call normal people sheep and keep guns in their shower. Basically, my two favorite youtubers.
Had to cut a few coils in the spring-with how sharp the shark jimping and stiff the spring was a few flicks will turn your index finger or thumb raw.
The humor for the win! Metal Complex and that other guy. Haha! But seriously great upload!
My gosh dude this is the quality content I signed up for
Lol the checking back and forth with @metalcomplex 😂😂😂
I deeply enjoyed the Metal Complex cameos, I'll have to check that guy out 😂
I rarely watch knife content, but when I do, the video has my homies MC and AKB in it.
Great video man. MCs appearance was hilarious. Knives look cool too.
Thanks dude!
😉🍻
Going in hard on the reply guys! love it.
OMG two of my 4 favorite knife RUclipsrs in one video? What a treat! I'll let you guess who my other two favorites are.
That MC cutaway was like the old Micro Machines commercial.
Y’all’s!!! Stoked!!! XO
the lifetime supply of chapstick and avocados killed me
AUS10 made by Cold Steel or Demko is a phenomenal steel especially with their specific heat treating, not to mention it's made in Taiwan which usually means great quality
AKB and Metal Complex was a mixture I didn't know I wanted but here we are
Damn I really want to watch metal complex’s review now. Mainly because I want to know where I can get a life time supply of avocados
MC stuff is legitimately funny, had me genuinely making noises with my face in real life!
Got my AD20.5 a few days ago, & my right index finger was definitely sore for a couple days.
But that I could feel the power of the callous at my fingertip, & I rejoiced as it dawned on me that I had conquered the shark lock. I now feel no pain. I have mastered the AD20.5.
And you can, too! Never give up!
Holy crap!! I can’t stop laughing at the cut-aways to MC. Oh and the “impression” of the paint guzzlers. Hahahahaha
Also good review😏
Ok, you win, this is the perfect collaboration! Awesome of metal complex for having such a great since of humor. And thank you sir for helping me make it through quarantine!!!
Holy shit this is comedy gold.
Well played sir! 😄
This may very well be my favorite knife review, on youtube, to date.
You opening and closing skills with the 940 are unmatched. A joy to behold
I'm more of a gold metal flake Krylon™ huffer myself. Although the WAH-WAH's on silver rust-oleum ain't tea bag either.
I really liked that. I'm a fan of both of you, and it was nice to see you two collaborate in such an excellent manner.
This is pure fucking gold
I fell out of my chair in LOLs when the video cut to Metal Complex and the "size comparison" . . .
Dude I am so excited to see this video!!! I’ll come back after watching it all! 🙌
The cuts to Metal Complex are HILARIOUS!!!!!!!
Possibly my favorite video ever. Great collaboration. 😎
Glad you enjoyed it!
Bro and Metal are the best!
Yo, I’m dead…. AD20 next to a sword
This guy gets it.
Andrew has done some cool things in his knife career so far. I’m gonna come back here and delete every freaking comment after I get this knife and come back and see what an idiot I made myself.
Oh my gosh. the cut-ins from Metal Complex was hilarious. Definitely one of the reasons love this channel.
Good god this one was gold. Love the cuts from @MetalComplex
Thanks!
You are the BEST! Please do as many knife reviews as possible, your vids make life better! I sincerely appreciate your efforts! Thank you!
Total great review and enjoyed Metal complex getting in on his own self aware joking.
How do you not have more subscribers? I love your videos, and this one was hilarious with Metal Complex inserts 🤣. Keep up the great work, I always look forward to your videos!
Metal Complex sent me. You had me laughing the whole time. Subbed.
I didn't watch any videos on it, just saw it and let it sink in until I went to a store and held it and it was great. I don't watch all you guys all the time on here.
Damn I'm number 3. I missed out on so many advanced knife points.
This was hilarious! Good humor and useful or not so useful information about the knife…. My kind of review! Keep it up man.
Mine is a jade green one, I like it. Carry it every day.
First video I've watched, the MC cuts were hysterical. Great video.
“Now this is what it’s like when worlds collide!!!”
Hilarious and informative all in one, Mission accomplished.
Love the video! It cracked me up and gave me a good laugh ( I really needed that! ) Metal Complex is the shit. Keep up the great videos till the next one.
A joy to watch. 3rd time through and still funny! All accurate and articulated with aplomb. 👍🍺🍺
Here from Metal Complex. Got a new subscriber👍🏻
I know I'm late to the party but the cuts to MC are just gold.
two of my favorite knife reviewers shooting the shit!? sign me up!
This entire channel is delightful.
I think I'm in the weird pain fidget category. I love the sebenza, zaan, large microtechs like cypher, police 4, just anything thumb wrecking. Really learning a lot about myself today.
Best. Knife. Review. Ever. Pretty sure metal complex is still recording for this video. Don't stop him. Just check back in once a month
I played around with some of these, and that shark lock is amazing! Demko is part genius part magical wizard when it comes to knife design.
it's just a glorified axis lock...
“Paint guzzlers” lmaoooo
I have definitely acquired the dreaded “SLF”. Shark lock finger. I’ve been flipping non stop for 5 days and the pad of my finger is raw….had to switch to my thumb. I still love it though. I need to develop shark callouses I guess.
So 9 months later. How is the ad20.5 holding up? How much pocket carry does it get as compared to your fav edc 10 months ago?
@@brianroyster7510 yep. Still my favorite. It’s saving me lots of money. I’ve actually quit buying knives because of it. I don’t like any other design as much as it. I have 3 now. Two sharks and a drop point. I am waiting for the “perfect” aftermarket titanium scales to come out for it and I will reclad one of the sharkies in new scales. I wouldn’t mind adding a bit of heft to it. It’s very light. I would also like to do black timascus scales for one of them if that is ever an option.
@@jagpilotohio which blade steel are you using?
@@brianroyster7510 the standard Aus10a. Doesn’t hold an edge great but it’s super easy to sharpen and I don’t mind sharpening every few months.
@@jagpilotohio Original Goat has titanium out there now and they are pretty nice. Flytanium has some coming eventually. I even signed up for a reblade that cost double what the whole damn knife cost lol. I have 3 of the AD20S too though. Can't wait for the 204p one to get to me from Europe. According to tracking sometime in the next week but who knows. Last time I had a package from Post NL it took about 2 months to get to me so not sure this time they are gonna do it in 7-10 days lol.
These are some of the best present time knives for heavy duty tasks. However each person is a different world who can like other models! I personally trust Cold Steel but my favorite carry knife is the S.O.G. Terminus.
Nothing quite like carrying my new Spydiechef in the pocket of my true religion jeans, thinking about cutting something with it, then using my backup knife instead. Don’t want to dull out the LC200N on just anything, NASA made that stuff ya know?
Seriously though, this video was fantastic. MC’s cutaway bits got even more outlandish and funnier each time! Been loving my AD-15, but it does shred my pockets ha!
Loved this! Your my favorite 2 knife guys on RUclips lmao 🤣
Best youtube crossover since your appearance in Pete's magnum opus Spyderco Advocate videos. The MC cutaways were gold.
Lmfao this was great dude 🤣😂🤣
Having carried and used this knife for a couple weeks now, it’s great but it feels like a $100-$120 knife with $30-$50 packaging, which I’m guessing wasn’t sent to you but I would’ve loved to have heard your thoughts on it. That said, if they’d drop the pricey packaging because packaging is only cool the first time you open it and instead upgrade to g-10 and/or an upgraded steel, this knife would feel better across the board. My hopes are that the Demko’s are going to make a fortune off this knife and in turn be able to ramp up AD-20 production so I can actually get one without having to live on the Internet. Great video MC!🙃
Packaging was just a little black box with a bubble wrap pouch inside. Looked cheap to me.
@@AdvancedKnifeBro oh really, that’s interesting. The final packaging they showed off on IG and sold at blade show/dealers is far more than a little black box. It’s a large sturdy box covered in fancy print along with possibly the nicest large zipper pouch out there and a removable patch! High brow top tier stuff!
that stuff with metal complex was hilarious
Just put some titanium scales on a 20.5.. im happy with the feel and look
You deserve more subscribers. If I was more into knives I would 100% watch all your videos! I miss your flashlight reviews (I know they take too long) and your awesome humor, I hope all is well with you.
I'm now working on the Killer Whale Lock. Have fun Demko...ahem.... I mean Drago. We all know Demko is actually Drago from Rocky 4.
I really enjoy my Strider SNG with gunner grips. Its a bit over 10 years old now and it still hangs out on my top 5 list.
I want a patch or a sticker from Metal Complex with an Avocado and Chap Stick
This was a thing of beauty.
Great video,love the appearance of Metal Complex also love the knife.
Will check out this Medal Complexity guy. Seems interesting.
Thanks for the seriously excellent laugh!
I meddled muddled around there, boring as watching an AC vent.
Holy crap. Those cutaways to MC. 🤣 This video just made me a subscriber. I promise to click on sub once I have clean pants on.
"... and now I have a lifetime supply of chapstick and avocados..." Oh, my, GOODNESS! Hah!
Simply brilliant. You and the knife.
