I agree with what you said about the container for the knife. There is no point for the extra crap, and for those who think that stuff is free well I am sorry but there's no way they are just giving you stuff for free. For someone who is a first time knife buyer it might be mice to get some extras, but for most knife enthusiasts it's just clutter that gets thrown out. If I spend 100 or 500 on a knife I want that money to go into the knife not the packaging.

It feels like this lock could be made with studs on the lockbar instead of the "flippertab", making it more ergonomic for hard use as Pete defines here.

Basically it's a $60 knife that costs a couple hundred more than that. I learned my lesson with the Bugout. I do really like it, but I feel like a chode for spending $150 on it when it's not appreciably better than my $40 Kershaws, except it stays sharp a little longer. And then there's the Demko, with steel not even as good as the Bugout, for almost twice as much...

[@tidge879]

You're paying for Demko to buy and own the tooling in Taiwan so it can only be used on his products to protect it from being cloned as fast as it would have otherwise been cloned. I can't imagine he's actually made that much profit from this model yet despite its wide success. Its also why he's happy to make tonnes of versions and exclusives.

[@CedricAda]

this is good info and makes a bit of sense

[@wes.killed.it.5511]

You are correct about the tooling ownership aspect indeed, however, Demko has without a doubt made a fortune since it's release a year and a half ago. A buddy of mine was a childhood friend of both Demko brothers, and is still very much friends with John. The word is that it cost Demko $9.85 per unit to manufacture (not including packaging). Add a generous $2.50 (high estimate) for packaging costs, and were looking at a knife that they make for under $13. With retail at $149.99 and the fact that until maybe 4 months ago these things were selling out at every drop, they certainly are doing just fine in the profit margins.

[@manifestgtr]

I really dig mine…I picked up the 3v version, threw some micarta on it, softened up the lock “actuator” and that was the sweet spot for me

[@Jakoshdw]

I have one of the Knifecenter exclusives in D2. This makes an excellent back pocket knife thanks to the slimness of the scales. What you said about this being a utility cutter pretty much incapsulates my thoughts on the blade. I do a lot of push cuts on cardboard and quick little cuts through plastic strapping and the blade performs adequately for my needs. Seeing how well the Aus10 held up to your testing impressed me. Thank you for what you said about batoning with a folding knife. Nice to know it can hold up in a emergency... but definitely not the intended use for a folder. My main gripe with the knife out of box was the grivory scales just felt super cheap. The edges of the Grivory scales would catch on my skin and make sorta cheap hollow plastic sounds... and just felt cheap. (Not opposed to grivory as I own other cold steel knives with thicker stock grivory with no issues.) I opted to replace my scales with milled billet aluminum scales and also gave the knife a little alcohol wipe and KPL treatment while I hade it disassembled. Feels like a much more premium knife now. Action is really smooth now after breaking in. I played with my AD 20.5 quite a bit to break it in and just get a feel for the action and all the different ways I could open it. The lock is a bit sharp when the knife is still stiff before breaking in... that said I appreciate the agressive jimping now as I know my finger won't slip when actuating the lock even when wet and it doesn't hurt anymore unless I'm sitting around actuating the lock repeatedly over and over. BTW... I appreciate how easy it is to actuate the lock with my thumb as well during those long fidget sessions.

[@JustGorilla]

In spite of the grivory scales and crappy steel, I love the AD 20.5.

[@brianshapley8092]

Considering fidget factor and over-all feel, I think the Spyderco it most closely compares to is a Smock, rather than the Para 3. I like my AD 20.5 Sharksfoot a LOT for every day "beater use" as you say. I immediately hit the edges of the shark "fin" with a bit of sandpaper, which easily removed the ouchie factor. No need for shark fingers! Watching your initial flubs on opening and closing with the sharklock: you really don't need to "flip" it closed. Even holding it straight horizontal, the spring is enough to bring it to a complete close. Fun knife! I do wish I had waited a BIT longer to get it, so I could have ordered the 3V. But I have a hard-line rule against buying multiples of the same knife. Too many out there to get! Thanks for the video!

But design wise I do like it, it's small but it's still a 4 finger grip, very solid lockup.

[@Hungrybird474]

Same here in being behind in this and had to check it out around Christmas . I thought it sucked at first for the price . Edge rolled but it did sharpen into some decent aus 10 , not bad at all . I thought it was a bit much with the scales so added some Original goats and backspacer and it took the knife to decent . I’d rather be rolling that sandrin Torino . My spring went flying like yours 🤣. I knew I’d never find it until I ordered new ones and then immediately it was sitting on the floor in front of me , truth , lol. The action gets better after a 1000 flicks and all in all with the OG scales it’s a decent enough knife for what it brings with the lock design which is what we paid for mostly cuz the knife itself is cheaply made when it came to the scales , the aus10 has always worked well for me on other knives , nothing spectacular but decent nonetheless . After a few weeks the lock broke in and didn’t hurt my finger as much and shark finger is indeed a thing . Little callus on the tip because it has to hit the same spot on the lift up part of the lock to actually get it to close . It doesn’t close until the finger is lifted . It’s a decent knife . I hope I didn’t make it sound a pile of 💩 because with some OG scales it s a ok 👌 . I think it just comes down to for $250 what would you rather have

[@Youtube-Censorship-Police]

this was by far my most disappointing knife of last year: right ootb it felt cheap, not bad but cheap like a $70 cold steel (it's made by the same factory), it also has all the materials of a cheap cold steel (aus10, frn). after 2 days of carry, laughably light use (cut a few veggies in the kitchen) and moderate flicking, the blade developed severe vertical play which wasn't fixable no matter what i tried. so okay, i was disappointed but thought i got a lemon and sent it back to the retailer, it can happen, wasn't my first monday knife. 4 days later i got the replacement, i was happy and flicked it open only to experience that it had a horroible grind (looked like a recurve blade) and that the blade play right ootb was even worse on this one. sent it back and got a nice kizer mini begleiter in m390 and ti for 10 bucks less. what i learned from this experience is 1: never let the hype grab you and 2: never trust experimental locks on a pocket knife.

[@tacticalcenter8658]

Never buy poor performance m390 is what I've learned long ago. 90% of knife companies produce poor performance m390, 204p and 20cv. Spyderco USA @ 61-62rc, and Reate at 60-61rc are two with great m390 and 20cv. Three rivers is good when its 62rc from their heat treat facility (which is peters heat treat in the USA) 61 is not terrible but not amazing. Kunwu is said to be great because of the protocol provided by an expert, but ive not seen it tested. That expert also provided protocols to another knife company but I'm not sure which one. The rest of china under performs and is not valuable or worth the cost they charge for these steels. Yes Pete's rope cut testing may show good numbers for some of these but thats usually due to the thin behind the edge geometry that is making up for the poor performance that would show itself in cardboard cut testing which is testing the heat treat protocol instead of the thickness behind the edge as well. Look for a video called microstructure matters for more information. Your kizer may perform better than the aus10, but not by as much as legitimate m390 should perform with a proper heat treat protocol. But at least it was cheaper than the demko.

[@Youtube-Censorship-Police]

@@tacticalcenter8658 yeah i know that, 8 out of 10 companies treat their m390 below 60..sucks🫠 actually i like aus10, it was just the "bundle" of aus10 and frn that felt overpriced, and then the issue with the lock..that killed it for me. kizer's m390 is okay, maybe slightly better than their s35vn (which is pretty good s35) but i didn't notice a crazy difference. build quality and feel are way better on the ti mini begleiter though, but these knives are very different anyway so yeah. i wonder if us made demkos have lock-rock too, maybe it isn't the lock but a tolerance issue..i'd like trying a "real" ad20, but the risk is too high for me😅 cheers
