Demko Knives 12 Days of Christmas Sale

Not so much a dislike, just not my favorite composite. And it does come down to how it feels. I know it's sturdy stuff, don't mind that it flexes (but prefer full liners), and wouldn't complain if it was the only option. But if there's a choice, I'll go for the other material.

Example is the AD20.5 in natural G10 I just bought. Feels fantastic in hand. Fits good still with gloves on. Can grivory come translucent? Someday I'll disassemble and hit the frame with glow-in-the-dark paint, because I'm weird like that, and it'll be cool.

A question for everyone here. Why the dislike of Grivory scales?
My daily carry is an AD20 broad clip with grey Grivory and it has been excellent. It was lasered camo though….View attachment 3048041

im good with them. I like the g10 a bit better though, and price point is pretty close...within 50 bucks, which could be lot of money but we are in the 400s range...so im struggling to justify one just cause.....
 
Liar. Even though we can afford them, we're always looking for a good deal. (It's the lure and joy of the hunt.) 🤣 🍺


(Sotto voce: "As our intrepid hunter sneaks up upon the unsuspecting and rarely found titanium whale shark, a sudden breeze alerts his prey...and just like that, it is gone.")
 
Grivory is a "less expensive" material but it does have a tendency to feel "cheap" even though it is probably one of the more durable materials for scales out there! Benchmade gets a bad wrap for all the Grivory they use but honestly, you could run a Grivory knife over with a truck and it would probably be fine! I prefer heavy knives so I lean more towards Titanium. Even aluminum scals can feel 'cheap' to me. But like I said, it's just a perception thing...I have no doubt that Grivory scales will hold up well and always get the job done!
 
Thank everyone for sharing their thoughts on Grivory. Definitely all valid considerations and there certainly isn’t a right or wrong opinion. I guess I will remain the “odd man out” and hang onto my like of Grivory.

Hopefully everyone is finding things the like for our 12 Days of Christmas sale.
