Cold Steel's Demko's AD-15's Scorpion Lock EDC stings in a good way.
I collect. Not for use in the field. But for the feel. I already have four (4) Demko models, three AD 20.5s; a Cold Steel Demko AD-10, Now an AD-15. I like Demkos. But, I passed on the AD-15. Who knew? It took Nick Shabazz on YouTube conversing with a vendor in conversation about Nick's top 10. Surprise! The custom AD-15 Demko version is mirrored in Cold Steel's edition of the AD-15 with unbridled enthusiasm. What had I missed? My error. But the AD-15 doesn't look like an EDC. Or does it? Admittedly, Cold Steel's products arrive in pristine condition. Unboxed, the AD-15 has an unusual appearance. First, it's Hefty. Looks complicated. Swings open a very large slice of a very sharp blade. At first I had no idea what to do once I opened the blade. The was the easy step? Not soI figured out how the Scorpion Lock worked intuitively. In no time. Not possible? Then I discovered how to manipulate the Scorpion Lock with one hand. Wow! Now I love this Monster. The blade flies open and swings closed with precision. In hand, the handle texture is very good, comfortable. Reassuring as long as I am on the handle side. The balance equates with every aspect of the EDC, blade, in hand feel, closed centered position, ease of operations. Cold Steel, Demko, Bravo! As usual my two knives (an accompanying Rat2) arrived by jet pack in KCI's usual shipping. And thank you, Nick. Heartily, recommended,
