Demko AD22 - quick inspection

[@Zero_8347]

This one looks way better than the other versions I've seen

[@josepmariaaguascaribot9239]

Congrats for your very clear explanation. I think that the 'Shark lock' combines sturdy and easy to use capabilities.

[@ej911]

Thank you very much for your great videos, Vlad!

[@NavyAssassinOnBLAST]

Gorgeous scales 😍😍

[@pete6705]

Cool. Any idea when these are coming out?

[@Mastonc]

Looking forward to it

[@KrissStiletto13]

Very cool. :-) I am still, trying to get an AD20... :-) Peace, Stiletto :-)

[@shonizacharias9677]

nice...love to see more videos ...

[@jfriedman5274]

Man Demko really reduced this one to bare bone essentials which is cool and regardless of how strong carbon fiber is I kinda feel like not having liners isn't always gonna be the best choice these models I kinda think I'd like to see him offer this model with and without your choice of liners for overall durability...

[@CNYKnifeNerd]

I had a Benchmade Nakamura that I made CF liners for, to replace the steel liners. I broke the blade while testing the way the CF handled lateral force. CF is incredibly strong.

[@edrader]

@@CNYKnifeNerd it depends on how they lay the fibers.

[@fatihcakmakci822]

I will buy a titanium plate version of it right away!

[@zeshwonsos]

would have been a lot easier to disassemble if you kept it open or closed. thanks for the breakdown

[@tgonzalez1983]

I’d love to get one of these. Those scales look sick. I’d polish that shark lock though. Looked discolored. How much was it I wonder

[@benjaminmichaels1759]

are you in Romania? where do you get your Demko knives from?

[@CNYKnifeNerd]

This is almost definitely directly from the most recent Blade Show, in Atlanta.

[@concealmenttraining9371]

Looks like these will have blade play eventually from use over time. Not sure maybe im wrong.

[@vlab2000]

They shouldn't. Once the bearings wear in they should work exactly as a regular 20.

[@davidtishar144]

It was a tough decision to not pick one up.

[@beck4218]

CF is plenty strong enough. Don't use your $1K folder as a pry bar.

[@Niran333]

Sandwich again… sighs. Thanks for the tear down 👍

[@tjnamp4890]

These are so absurd.

[@vlab2000]

In what way?

[@tjnamp4890]

@@vlab2000 Oh sorry, I meant in a really good way. Like so amazing it is absurd. I know it doesn't make sense but native English speakers do that often. Not sure what the word is for it but yeah it's blatant misuse of words lol.

[@joshalmightyblades]

Cool knife, but to my brothers...: PLEASE STOP OVER PAYING FOR THESE GIMMICK KNIVES!!! YOUR ENABLING THESE COMPANIES TO BASICALLY ROB YOU, AND IT STUNTS THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY! Do as you wish of course JMO.

[@yankee2yankee216]

Excuse me? What do you mean? Criticisms which don’t specify the specific issue you are addressing are worthless! Exactly how are these knives gimmicky?

[@yankee2yankee216]

How is this a gimmick knife? You must mean it is INNOVATIVE… Mustn’t have that! Sorry, but I disagree (I just bought a similar, related knife, which I LIKE).

[@yankee2yankee216]

Why would you describe this knife as “cool,” then turn around refer to is as a “gimmick knife.” Huh?
