Demko Knives

With a new and innovative approach to the world of knives, Demko Knives is a home-owned brand by brothers, John and Andrew. The Demko brothers have been making custom knives and engineering unique knife locking mechanisms for over 25 years. Their passion for knives urged them to explore the tool in depth, and when they found themselves discontent with the available knives and their working systems, they were inspired to dive in with their own exclusive creations. They have engineered two new locking systems that have turned out to be far more durable and easy to use than other options available on the market today. Demko knives use their own technology and are gradually becoming known in the industry for their durability, uncomplicated mechanism, and simple use.

The Demko Brother Innovations

The two types of locking systems introduced by Demko knives are the Demko patented Shark lock, also known as the Triad lock, and the Scorpion lock. The Shark lock is significantly featured in the AD-10 Demko knife and other Cold Steel knife collaborations. It uses the same interface as any traditional back-locking mechanism would do, but is reinforced with much greater strength for added durability, making it a unique, Demko trademark. Likewise, the Scorpion lock by Demko is a new variation on the folding knife lock style. This lock also displays extreme strength and ease of use. A rock-solid lock-up and one-hand operation are the key features of the Demko Scorpion locking system.

With S35vn blades and G-10, Micarta, or Titanium handle scales, the knives by Demko offer excellent performance. The blades by Demko knives are machine ground before being hand-finished to ensure an affordable, yet premium-quality end product. They have a range of products such as the AD-15 knife with a 0.180-inch thick stock and a 3.78-inch blade, but a weight of only 6.4 oz. the AD-15 Demko knife is one of the most popular in the range and, with a sleek, razor-sharp edge, offers brilliant performance. The production takes place in America, and only the finest quality of materials are used to stand up to excellent standards.

Demko Knife Inventory with Unique Locking Systems

The easiest way to segregate the knives by the brand is by the two, groundbreaking locking systems they have engineered and contributed to the world of knives – Shark lock knives and Scorpion lock knives. Demko knives are most commonly known for their unique style, heavy-duty construction, and rugged handles.

Demko Shark Lock Knives: This collection of knives features two prominent knives with the patented Shark locking system by Demko Knives. The AD 20.5 Clip Point knife in the range has a clip point style blade, whereas the AD 20.5 Shark Foot knife has a shark foot type blade. These shark lock knives generally offer quick and easy single-hand opening and closing, along with smooth cages bearings to make the experience even better. With Grivory handles and steel liners, the knives in this collection are ideal for every heavy-duty task and perfect for every knife enthusiast. The AD-20.5 knives have been tested to 875-inch pounds of torque – highly impressive for knives weighing at a mere 3.5 oz.!

The Shark lock is similar to most Triad locks because of the size and weight. It is a mechanism that is located on the knife’s spine and operates with the help of a ‘fin’ that is ramp-like. When the blade is attempted to be opened, the lock arm moves upwards into a notch in the tang with the help of a spring, placing it just below a lock pin. Here, the locking mechanism moves forward and backward, while also being in an upward and downward motion – making it all the more unique. This greater range of movement allows a bigger blade tang, making the knife stronger.

Demko Scorpion Lock Knives: With the Demko Scorpion Lock operating mechanism at its core, the AD-15 knife is one of the most established in the Scorpion Lock collection. It is a heavy-duty knife that offers incredible strength, with a grip that further supports the Scorpion lock. These features of this knife come together to offer an easy-to-carry folding knife that has the strength just fractions away from any fixed knife. Tho combination of a spearpoint blade with a swedge, dual thumb studs, and CPM-20CV steel brings maximum durability and excellent edge retention to the knives in this range.

All in all, the Scorpion lock system is engineered to be a standalone knife locking system that can easily function single-handedly, helping to keep fingers and hands out of the blades way on closure. The self-adjusting knives in this Demko Knives line offer an excellent grip for added security and have an open construction for easy cleaning and maintenance. The optimal handle-to-blade ratio sizes are obtained with these knife designs, promising exceptional functionality and style, along with the modern outlook on the mechanism involved.

Demko Triad Lock Knives: This Demko collection encircles premium knives such as the AD-10 Triad Lock knife. The durable folding knives in the range are the perfect option for heavy-duty and tough cutting, slicing, and chopping tasks. Though the Triad locking system in these knives works ambidextrously like in any common back lock knife, it has an internal system that is stronger by far, ensuring unbeatable strength and reliability. The triad lock, combined with a hefty construction, makes the knives exceptionally durable. The scale handle on these knives can be made of titanium liners, hand-filled G-10 finishes, Micarta, or Carbon fiber. The wide drop point blades are mostly a high-quality CPM 3V or CPM-20CV steel, making the Demko Triad Lock Knives large enough for any situation, yet compact enough for comfortable use and easy carrying.
