Demko AD20.5 Folding Knife

The Demko AD20.5 is a renowned folding knife designed by specialized bladesmith Andrew Demko. Originally established in the United States, the Demko Knives brand gained significant fame for inventing the proprietary 'Shark Lock' mechanism which is featured prominently in this model. While the brand originates from the USA and maintains high-end custom production there, the production of the AD20.5 model is primarily handled in Taiwan to ensure a balance of precision engineering and market accessibility.

Demko Knives is a family-owned operation led by Andrew and John Demko. The brand remains independent, focusing on innovative locking mechanisms and rugged everyday carry (EDC) tools. The AD20.5 has become a staple in the knife community, celebrated for its unique aesthetics, strength, and the smooth operation provided by its trademarked lock system.
