Demko Knives AD20.5 Shark Foot Black DLC

he Shark Lock™ mechanism designed and engineered by Andrew Demko has finally arrived! With easy one-handed opening and closing, smooth cage bearings, and a Grivory handle and steel liners, this knife is up to the task!

The Shark Lock™ mechanism is situated on the spine of the knife and operated with a ramp-like "fin". Opening the blade makes the spring-driven lock arm move up and then into a notch in the tang, situating it beneath a lock pin. This range of movement is noteworthy. It's unique in that the locking mechanism moves forward and back while also moving up and down. This allows for a greater sized blade tang, making better mechanical advantage in a specific area. And because the drive spring that moves the locking element up into the locked position is contained within the locking arm itself, it won’t be subject to dirt and grime. The Shark is very comparable to most Tri-Ad locks for its size and weight.

The AD-20.5 has been tested to 875 inch pounds of torque - a very impressive number for a 3.5 oz. knife!

The AD-20.5 is as much fun as it is practically functional. The radical new locking system not only provides reliable protection for your precious fingers, but also, with its "fin", a convenient thumb ramp with jimping for enhanced control. Additional jimping on the blade's spine also adds to the knife's usability.
