Demko AD20S Grivory D2 Initial Review & Rating
Published: 2 years ago
Initial review of the Demko AD20S in Grivory and D2… wow, what a wonderful knife. A top rated example in my collection (see below). Also, left out from this video but mentioned in prior videos: The Shark Lock is awesome, my favorite locking mechanism by far right now. And, it's D2, would prefer S45VN, Magnacut, 20CV, etc. at this price. Both are accounted for in the below scores:
Priority Score for the Demko AD20S Grivory D2 - 83/100 (Top 5-10 all time)
Pocket Feel - 7/10 (For context: Bugout Mini - 10, Bugout - 9, Demko AD20.5 - 8)
Pocket Clip - 6/10
Feel in Hand - 9/10
Deployment - 10/10
Lock - 10/10
Design - 9/10
Fit & Finish - 9/10
Blade Shape - 10/10
Blade Steel - 6/10
Value - 7/10
