Black on black on black
Published: 2 years ago
Just delivered from BladeOps, AD20.5 black on black sheep foot unboxing. Bad ass looking knife! This is my current "winter EDC" (albeit a different color) and one of my highest rated knives to date!
Priority Score for the Demko AD20.5 Sharks Foot Grivory Aus10A - 84/100
Pocket Feel - 8/10 (good for pants, will need to try in shorts given the 3.5oz weight)
Pocket Clip - 6/10 (no deep pocket and stubborn, replaceable and the only shortcoming)
Feel in Hand - 9/10
Deployment - 10/10
Lock - 10/10 (best I have used and strongest)
Design - 9/10 (rated high for function as much as looks)
Fit & Finish - 9/10
Blade Shape - 10/10
Blade Steel - 6/10
Value - 7/10 (if this knife was S35VN or better at the same price, I'd give it a 9-10... if the AUS10A holds up well maybe I bump this to 8/10)
