Look what showed up… Demko AD20.5 Titanium

Published: 2 years ago

Demko AD20.5 unbox, initial impressions and comparisons. Forgot this was coming today… it’s in my pocket as I publish this and wow, it makes an impression when you hold it.

Best rated knife to date:
Priority Score for the Demko AD20.5 Sharks Foot Titanium 3V - 90/100
Pocket Feel - 7/10 (ok for pants, will need to try in shorts given the 4.25oz weight)
Pocket Clip - 6/10 (no deep pocket and stubborn, replaceable and the only shortcoming)
Feel in Hand - 10/10
Deployment - 10/10
Lock - 10/10 (best I have used and strongest)
Design - 10/10 (rated high for function as much as looks)
Fit & Finish - 10/10
Blade Shape - 10/10
Blade Steel - 9/10
Value - 8/10 (at $250 vs $315 I'd give it a 9, at $150-200 I'd give it a 10)
