A modern classic EDC knife got premium upgrades! Demko AD-20.5

[@norsefalconer]

Personally, I've bumped, but haven't crossed, the $150 line (yet). I use, abuse, and lose knives, and, as such, typically carry a sub-$20 Kershaw Mixtape (love that knife, btw). But, I respect and appreciate those willing to buy premium knives, because those folks are who finance new technology, making bargain knives so much better in the process. Everyone has their use case, respect and support that, and we can continue to have a wonderful community.

I think you really nailed it (batoned it?) with the smaller companies having more hurdles than we know. It’s very easy to complain when there is no skin in the game or we don’t have a full picture of what’s going on behind the scenes. And there is always a “behind the scenes,” for any person, company or entity imho. I appreciate that sentiment about things and I think you nailed it. And I also have a few guns, but I don’t ever tell anyone that they can “buy a gun for that price!” As my customs are handmade and art that I can use, and my guns are all collectible pieces that I also use or compete with in uspsa- but I know that there is a price for a machine made gun from a factory and there is a price that I pay for someone’s time spent with handwork and refined skill. It’s a completely different animal imho. I love guns but I spend more on my custom knives because I can use them and pull them out to show my friends and not get arrested. It screeches in my ears when I hear another gun guy say that about knives and it really puts it into perspective as to how much they might not understand about the process of making a gun, compared to making a knife, and especially at the custom knife level.

[@StoneHands25]

I remember back when people would refer to the Jade g10 as "ghost g10" or something like that

[@artemkanarchist]

Thanks for your work! Still looking forward to future beer reviews though...

[@tomfury7767]

Great narration and unique humor as usual. Love your vids…

[@gOOnz901]

I’ve got the natty G10 ,this has became one of my favorites I love it lol so fun the shark lock is awesome. It’s kind of thin too and it grows on you .

[@sethprice241]

Right on bro.

[@datafoxy]

Just making the knife easier to like. The AUS10A was pretty good already but I got the S35VN also and it feels a bit nicer with the g10 but equal with fit and finish. I am glad he is giving people all the options.

[@mikereese15]

Oh the epic audio issues.😅 Yes the acoustics of the 20.5 are awesome. The sound and feel of it. Night quite as good as the sound of opening a schlitz.

[@beeferbaron]

Beautiful knives bro. I want that espada bad. Some day

[@richardstorer-adam7222]

Am I the only one experienceing sound issues with this video??? Joke...it was a joke. I enjoyed the video. Thanks AKB

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Oh god. My nightmare

[@Haydencpalmer]

“You don’t have to buy them if you don’t like the price” wise words for our knife shopping hobbies. Maybe I should start saying this to by clients at work. Hahaha

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Isn’t that true of everything?

[@jamberrycloud]

Yup the shark lock is the best sounding mechanism out there. I have a Knifecenter D2 sharksfoot version, and dream to have a full fat Demko MG (but kinda too big for my urban needs?).

[@ilijabosnjak76]

I can’t afford fancy sharpening system, I just use free hand,it’s not great but sometimes I get it right,,that knife looks pretty cool 😎,, I like ALL knives I don’t have preference except Mora Kniv,those are my favourite…❤

[@edc4fun]

6 Schlitzezes.. whatever’s free OPEN BAR DUDE

[@emesser7087]

They like shooting open their Amazon boxes got me 🤣

[@1718bb]

Love my Demkos. Yeah the 20.5 is offered in a clip point or sharks foot but not drop point. The 20 and 20S are offered in drop point as well as the other points. Oh and there's the new Tanto 20.5 now as well.

[@mobster2]

These reviews are very helpful. I just subbbed to your Patreon. Appreciate your videos!

[@AValentinoFilms]

He has a holiday sale on his website. I bought my 3V AD20.5 in Coyote for $200 and got a free armiger 2.

[@owlwithwhiplash8568]

Now that AD is blazin' his own path, who is Cold Steel's new star designer? Don't hold out on me. I know you have Lynn on speed dial. (Please review the 4-max scout)

[@marshalllaw123]

Hell yeah.

[@powersww1reset]

But, that clip point, drops😯 Does the drop point, ever like to, clip? 30 year knife collector, and I’m still confused!

[@SpyderHeel]

How does one acquire an Advanced Beer Bro vegan leather koozie?

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Oh that was real dead cow!

[@JohnHolliday1911]

I miss my Demko.

[@charlesholland6851]

I have two 20.5a and a 20s. Sometimes I feel like the 20.5 is a better knife at being a knife

[@Leftyotism]

Sooo will it be more affordable now?

[@jRiZzO84]

Wish they would add the magnetic detent to these from the factory. The action leaves a lot to be desired.

[@iamfuckingyourwaifuandther2743]

Please god no. Don't do magnetic anything.

[@BradGryphonn]

Oh, youmay not remember me posting a pic on another social media platform about a Japanese 'electrician' knife. But I found out it was from the 50s/60s. A very early 'Marvel' electrician knife.

[@Mr.Fields.]

🎉

[@theimperialbeachbum1304]

You know what I don’t remember? Any EPIC meatloaf review! Still waiting, ok lets see the Demgo…

[@adamwoken]

any chance you'd know the thickness difference with the grivory/g10 and the Ti handles/why the aftermarket scales aren't for the 3v Ti?

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

I do not know the thickness difference, but I do know flytanium mills out the pivot for these upon request- so presumably the grivory and the g10 are similar ish.

[@stevenrobertson6656]

Sounds like you're in a giant fish bowl again bro...no wait, I'm in a giant fish bowl.

[@ClownBabyG-Zus]

an advanced knife bro pocket knife thing? nice

[@54diggerdown]

Good review. I was going to leave a cutting but witty reply but I dropped my bag of peanuts and I have to pick them all up before the racoons with their dexterous paws get here. They can be trained by the government to plant tracking devices on or IN you. But all in all a good review.

[@VillainousJake]

I never had an issue with grivory as a material itself, but that 20.5 handle was probably the most uncomfortable knife to hold in my collection. I had to throw some micarta on there. Also, at the risk of being an annoying twat, any updates on a release date for the stump lifter?

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Not yet on the release date. Production has started after I passed along a final note on one thing I wanted improved. I would have to guess winter?

[@VillainousJake]

@@AdvancedKnifeBro awesome, thanks. I have email and text notifications set up and ready lol

[@BradGryphonn]

I'd forgotten you were designing a knife. Any idea when it will be released?

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

They are in production- but my guess is sometime fall / winter

[@BradGryphonn]

@@AdvancedKnifeBro I'll keep my eye out. I'll be able to afford one by then.

[@GigOne]

You need to do a "sliced cardboard" giveaway. lol I only buy knives you've reviewed. Maybe. Sometimes. Another excellent vid though. More knife "Jones'ing!"

[@billkaleta5215]

epic,bro

[@gintarasstgintaras4546]

Nice😊

[@chillseawasp]

you forgot one the ad22 i just discovered it a day ago😅

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

I didn’t even know about that one. Looks fairly rare

[@chillseawasp]

@@AdvancedKnifeBro yeah one guy bought his for 4k!

[@iankirkland6165]

Some good ol cardboard cuttin action

[@0zmose]

You very skillfully avoided the topic of the full size AD20 market, understandably so. I don't think I've had a harder time tracking down any other knife. Took me over a year to find a slotted slicer at a reasonable price. No shortage of Ti slicers on ebay, of course the scumbag scalpers are all asking $1,000+. I hope science creates a way to punch people through the internet someday.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

The demand far outstrips the ability to make them for everyone

[@Hungrybird474]

Ffing knives man . Oh yeah that new material called grivory 😂

[@etherealicer]

I would even go further with the price... once you have 5+ knives no futher knife is going to be "good value".

[@geneharrogate6911]

Frankly I think the sharpening vid would have worked better as an ASMR. Would also work for plain old fidgetin and slicin boxes. Click, click, _shhhh.._

[@richardstorer-adam7222]

My thought of the day is 'Micarta is a plastic'. why do we think it is a premium thing...plastic

[@LazyJones]

Comment for engagement

[@hawkknight4223]

I think the Aspada XL is entirely reasonable! But to each his own.

[@Keith_the_knife_freak]

Sweeeeeeeet

[@anthonysupplee858]

Over the last 2 years I thought I was tolerating you well. Then out of desperation I began thinking I was becoming a fan. Our bromance has ended as quickly as you put those shoes on. I tolerated them at first glance but then I saw how tight they are. Sorry bro I can’t do it anymore.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

This is an all timer man. One of the best comments ever. Glad to see you go!

[@FearsomeWarrior]

Sounds like someone has watched Brickleberry/Paradise PD/Farzar? Haha

[@brandonjimenez2145]

Yea bro, keep the videos short, my attention span is able to keep pace. 20+ min of AKB "droning on" is tough to sit through, unless ive had a couple 🍻

[@G-Man01]

You are a very silly man 👍

[@saltknives]

I liked you better when you drank schlitz!

[@tcrenegade]

Wow google chrome really makes you work to get to the comments now

[@Steve_G88]

have you ever considered standup comedy?

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

I hate being on stage- and I just got an explainer from the KZbin app saying why my videos aren’t more popular.

[@Leftyotism]

Hi patreons!
