DEMKO AD20.5 FIRST IMPRESSIONS

I don’t know what it is about the “shark foot” blade that appeals to me but I just ordered one to go with my AD20.5 clip point blade knives. Great knife review video.

Okay, why is it a huge problem that the Bugout's scales bend but no one has batted ONE EYELASH at the AD20.5 having scales that can also bend? People treat it like it's the end of the world with the Bugout but I guess Demko just gets a pass.

Think I’ll wait for the next gen on this one. Over priced for Aus10 and plastic, unfortunately an upgraded model should be the same price as this current model, but we know it will probably hit close to the $200 mark and that would be over priced also. We will pay for the shark lock even though to me it’s just not that “special”. There are so many American made Spyderco and Benchmade knives at the same price point, the AD brand needs to come down to Earth.

just got mine in Jade yesterday gonna keep the jade for a little bit 🤘🏻🔥🔥🔥

love this knife, have jade frag pattern scales on the way for mine

Some people bought way more than one so i didn't get one 😔 there should be some limit per person.

You said it! I would love micarta and k390 and a titanium and vanax or magnacut.

G10 is a type of plastic. Just sayin. Plastic is one of mankind’s greatest. Facts are important. You’re kiddin yourself. Dig your videos but not liking “plastic” that’s mental

I just emailed you pics brother man!

I can email you pics if you want to see one already done how you want it?

Pre ordered the same one and it should be here in a day or two can't wait. Great video 👍

I've got a clip point brand new if you decide to trade the sharks foot out!

Pretty cool, but sorry, too damn small. You can have mine; I'll wait for the AD 20.3.5 lol

maybe do a before and after the regrind...show us the difference between the two?....i had this knife at the top of my get list but after seeing all the new stuff about to be released i'm not so sure anymore....looking forward to that little front flipper from civivi, and that titanium frame lock flipper from buck with the s45 blade steel

The fat stop pin is something i've been looking for more and more. I know it's not likely to ever break with my hard use being opening my mail, but old machinist in the back of my mind says, "If it's gonna fail that's where it's gonna go..."

I wanted one but they where all sold out.:(

i mean saying a smaller size knife is more EDC-able is subjective. I like to EDC a bigger knife usually, so you know, personal preference.

Still can't see spending that kind of money on a knife. I spent $250 on my pm2 to make it what I wanted. Still not ready to go beyond $400.

Definately would love to see a before and after review to see how well it holds up after a regrind. Pretty sure their planning upgraded models in the future. Micarta and m390 would be awesome. Keep making sharp things fun and enjoyable

Really need one of those in my life! Can’t wait until they are available

According to Metal Complex, Aus10 is a step up from VG10, as VG10 is comped to Aus-8. Also it is Aus10-A. Another step up.

Plastic is a huge turn off and gotta go. Yeah, the screws are small, but it's plastic. I'd love to see it with more premium handle materials and better screws. I like that blade shape as well and wouldn't change it. I'd change the clip too. That all sounds bad, but I like it. Just needs improved a bit.

Can't wait! I didn't know which one to get so pre-ordered both blades...lol!

I was hoping for a deep carry clip on the smaller versions.

Less hyperbole! Just say it is a product from COLD STEEL's star designer.

I ordered both im chomping at the bit waiting for it to come... I hope Flytanium does titanium scales for it.

I have a sharkfoot but I can’t help thinking everytime I carry it that its a $60 Cold Steel with a $90 lock.

Both of the blade shapes have pros and cons I could not decide which one to get either I went with the sharks foot finally. Metal complex has both and he found himself grabbing the sharks foot one more often and our tastes tend to be similar with other knives soo..... But now I'm wishing I got the other one too, lm second guessing myself LOL maybe I'll get both eventually 😅

Just got notification from knife center on this bad boy saying it shipped my pre order. So I'll be watching your video on repeat till it gets here 😂🤪

Mine is on it's way in the mail from Knifecenter. I can't wait to make her dangerously sharp and find some micarta scales 😁

Great video. Would love to handle a AD20 or 20.5. Great looking knives. Nice comparison knife btw 😉

Nice comparison knife ! ;) the patina is well underway

Oh man I know someone is definitely working on micarta scales. Need!

Have you handled HobackA15 Slimline CPM-20CV, Grey Stonewash, Titanium Framelock

I was going to send mine out for a hollow grind and swedge. Who are you sending yours to?

Wish mine would hurry up lol

Was waitin on this one 👍

Great review and I agree we wanna see this lock on some differnt models.

Like the sharkfoot blade shape, and overall size is great for EDC, but for me I would rather have titanium scales. I currently have the full-size AD-20 with ti scales, and it is a beast, but not really great for every day pocket carry. Looking forward to see your full review.

Using the big brother to open it was fitting!
