ADKAD205CPS35NT: AD20.5 CPM-S35VN Clip Point Folding Knife - Natural (Jade) G10
Demko Knives
The AD20.5 by Demko Knives features the impressive Shark Lock and an even more impressive price point. After handling a plethora of MG AD20s, we can safely say that this is a very dutiful representation of that awesome mid-tech design. It's slightly smaller all-around and definitely thinner, which makes this much more suited for everyday carry than tactical encounters. The Shark Lock mechanism is situated on the spine of the knife and operated with a ramp-like ‘fin', allowing you to flip the blade open and closed at will. It's probably the best thing about this knife and design, how quickly it can be deployed and ready for action. It acts as a blade launcher and a little wrist action is all it needs. The AD20.5 is available in two variations, a clip point and a shark foot sheepsfoot, and we really can't think of a way to improve either one. Except maybe a versatile S35VN steel blade and durable G10 scales.

Pros: Weight, Ease of Opening, Blade Material, Overall Quality, Blade Sharpness
Cons: None
Incredibly fun and satisfying!
Due to its one-of-a-kind opening/locking mechanism, the Shark Lock, this is the most fidget-friendly knife I have ever handled.I find myself whipping this out of my pocket and opening it a hundred times per day, whether with the shark lock, the thumb hole, or the thumb studs. It is endless dopamine. Note, though, that it becomes much easier to operate after some repeated use. And, of course, the knife lockup is strong, as any Demko knife is.Don't ask "should I buy an AD-20.5?" Instead, browse the different color and steel options and ask "which AD-20.5 should I buy?"
