I put this video together as a resource and overview of my Demko AD20 / AD20 Custom / AD20S / AD20.5 collection in December 2022, to share critical things to know about the Demko shark lock models. Special shout out to the Demko Knives Dynamics FB group, the best resource on the topic.
The video intends to help buyers understand the wide world of Demko AD20x, what is (or is not) available, and some tips on where to find them.
I of course could not cover every detail including more obscure models like the AD20 Compact, AD22, the serrated blade options, etc. I also did after this video learn there was a very limited number of AD20S D2 slotted variants.
I hope this helps and please comment if I left something out!

Just seen where demenko ad 20 I dropped at knife center and I ordered me one for 425 do you think those will be collectors knives also ?
@@christurnerct49 hard to say, those are AD20i, blades made in Italy. Great knife but not sure about collectibility.
@@pocketpriorities Nice collection man!
17-4ph is a type of steel. It's known for its wear resistance, corrosion resistance and heat resistance. It can be a pain in the ass to machine as well, work hardening fairly easily.
I just posted a video of me hand fiting bronze washers to an AD20S if anyone else hates bearings like me. Great video, i'm fighting the urge to buy another AD20S, it's one of my favorite knives and i didn't think i would like it.
holy crap my guy. I am just getting into Demko and I think that I just learned everything I need to know from one video. Thx!
Lol thanks for the nice comment! Sounds like the video was helpful, glad to hear it if so!
Another day, another awesome Pocket Priorities video ☕️
Thanks amigo!
Outstanding collection. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Robert!
Thank you for this video. I have watched it many times over the months. I’m in the middle of putting together a textured Ti clip point CrewWear MG AD20 with thumb stud and cut out. It has the darker shark lock like on the HG. I’m waiting for pins from Demko because mine are too thick.
Glad to hear it was helpful!
I've got one of the AD 20.5 textured titanium/3V knives and I really love it. It's actually my favorite edc. I just found a AD20 clip point, machine ground, in Magnacut and I'm super excited to finally get my hands on a full sized version.
Where at man
@@gOOnz901 KnifeWorks had a bunch of them. It was three weeks ago but they were in stock for at least three days. There were a few variations that were slow to sell out.
Deeezaaaamn! I love it! I’m working on a small collection myself. This is inspiring. New subscriber here.
Very Nice thank you for your work and research on a GREAT knife.
You bet and thanks!
Absolutely insane collection haha
Awesome video, I will have one someday.
Just found your channel!! Absolutely love your content
Thanks for sharing!
Thank's, great video!!!
Thanks glad you enjoyed it!
Arizona custom knives is a consignment site .. the seller set the prices
My ad 20.5 cf scales have horrible tear out along the radius edge of the scales especially along the bottom where the finger cut outs are. The top is more straight line slightly curved is very clean radius edge. My guess is during the sanding process caused the tear out. If you use a magnifying glass it’s very evident.
Bummer
Amazing collection
Thanks!
How about the ad20 mg but hand regrind from the factory for the show and has a grivory handle?
That's my dream knife I don't care if it's in titanium. it'd be nice. Id also would like to get a droppoint style blade. It's just impossible to buy one unless your willing to pay a lot of extra money which I'm not willing to. Maybe eventually I'll own one. I do own a 20.5
I have been looking for a MG full sized in textured Ti for two months and can't figure out where to get one. Can someone help please?
Great video
Thanks and congrats on your new piece!
@@pocketpriorities should arrive Tuesday, thanks again. If you run across similar configuration (G10, slot with thumb stud, similar price point) drop point send me an email. Take care
Is the AD20S in CTS-XHP ease or low production. I don’t see a lot of information on this knife in this steel.
Pretty low production, I think only DLD VIP and maybe KnifeJoy do XHP but can't recall exactly. Awesome blade steel!
informative video. learned a lot. i just got an ad20 with carbon fiber and a two tone stone washed clip point blade. it's my first time seeing a two tone blade on an ad20. do you have info on that blade?
Not sure- maybe it’s a one off or someone did it aftermarket? Have a photo link?
@@pocketpriorities i posted 2 links. Replies keep getting deleted.
@@corrrect ah ok have an IG name?
@@pocketpriorities yeah, lo_tekk
@@pocketpriorities Dm you
Very nice. An Elmax version is my dream but what can ya do
I’ve got one on the way. Full titanium ad20s. I’m still looking for a full thickness ad20. Goodby money.
I’ve got an ad20 that I won in a waffle and I have no idea what it is. It’s a knife joy mg ad20 od green with only thumb studs
Cool! might be an old one then
I've been on a knife benge. Just bought the ad 20.5 Taiwan. As a new collector, I scanned weeks for a new knife under $200. My comment/question I love the knife but I am really disappointed all because of the sharp jimping on the lock fin. Are all of them this way? A big reason I choose this knife is the fidget factor. It literally kills my finger. And I have labor working hands. I'm sure it will toughen up, and the new factor will go but this is a turnoff. I have thought of taking a file to it but 170 is a lot for me to be filing on my new knife. BTW what a collection!! That's gotta be 10 to $15,000 in Demkos 😆🤑
I might just be used to them but it doesn't bother me, could be an easy adjustment with some sand paper or a fine file if you prefer
That is alot of Demko’s….
But where is the NatG10 sheepsfoot?
Lol. Best comment yet.
Dang man thats a whole lot of shark!great informative video!!! I would love to see an ad20.5 in magnicut with a cheaper price tag!🦈
Why would they charge "cheaper price" for the current best steel on the market? If they charge 150 fir complete shit aus8 (which should be a 50 dollar knife, if that), why the fuck would they charge less for magnacut?
@@jamesstephenson2346 🫠
Selling any? Looking to snag a 20cv, or other stainless, whether full or slim, dont care about scales.
I may have one then, feel free to message me same name on instagram or gmail
Hoarders. This is why I have been unable to purchase an AD20s.
Not a single knife here came from a drop or show, all secondary market. Want one? I have sold 10+ to other viewers.
@@pocketpriorities Yes I want one! :) Left column, 3rd down from the top (the AD20S drop point smooth titanium 28:25) -or- center column, 5th down from the top (AD20 drop point ti milled scales). How much and how do I buy? (Ha...as I keep watching the video, it's the one you touch @ 14:15 & 35:45 that you just bought).
@@bry2k Lol of course it would be one of those two! Feel free to email me, my youtube name at gmail or same name on instagram and we can discuss options and/or I can help find one for you based on months of figuring out where to source them from.
One word, Bro; "AWESOME!!!" WOW!!! Okay, 2 words... :-) :-) :-)
I absolutely luv your Collection. And, it's perfectly fine if you don't use them and just enjoy collecting them; I totally get you, Bro! I have the same addiction. To the "Blade." :-)
I absolutely luv how you share your experiences, Collection, and knowledge of your Collection. I have been a Subscriber for a while. And, have watched your Collection grow. Well done, Bro.
Personally, the Non-Slotted, AD20S is my personal favorite. :-) Though, I do absolutely luv the AD20.5, too. I just wish they were, at least, the same length as the more heavy-duty AD20S; I like the way the AD20S fits my hand better... :-)
And, I like the G-10 and Carbon Fiber Scales the best; I like them lightweight. :-) My Titanium Demko Folders are really nice. But, compared to the G-10 and Carbon Fiber Models, are too heavy and don't end up getting carried due to their weight. :-) But, try the Original Goat Aluminum Scales for the AD20 and AD20S Models, they are awesome and keep the weight to 6 ounces. :-)
Note: All of the US, Custom Shop Scales, except for the Grivory Scales, are made by John Demko, just to let you know... Great Video! :-) Peace, Stiletto :-)
Thanks for the kind words and love that!
I think PH is "Plain Handle" not 100% sure tho
I learned the code "17-4 PH" is the metal used in the shark lock, cool! www.progressivealloy.com/17-4-ph-stainless-steel/
dude thats like prolly 20k on the table holy cow
🙈😅
I'm still trying to get one
I have some for sale :)
@@pocketpriorities I'm looking for an ad 20 or ad 20 s. What do you have and how much will they cost
@@gareygerosky8030 I have various AD20S in the $400-800 range from G10/D2 to Ti/S45VN, all Shark Foot, and maybe an AD20 but tbd on that one.
@@pocketpriorities S45VN would be cool what do you have?
Unfortunately...not being big on social media and unwilling to spend time chasing knives. Let alone paying inflated secondary market prices...User’s like myself get left out until the hype wears off or demand gets met...Knives I’m able to reasonably get now seem to be from 3-5 years ago...older than that rarity seems steps back in usually from lack of production and again prices go up. What fun the “Supply and Demand” game can be. On the other hand if I was a manufacturer or producer I’m sure I’d do the same thing...lol
😂😂😂👍👍
That’s like $20000 demko collection.
Was, reduced it significantly after
Please sell me a full size 20 😩 or even a S model lol
Haha I use the same screen name on IG or gmail, if you want to discuss.
bro wtf
That pretty much sums it up… I only have a few now, passed most of these back to the community at my cost or less.
I have a question I was hoping you could shed some light on. Do you like the shark lock?
