I don't understand why Demko prices are from. $120 to $1400 for seemingly the same knife. Is it steel quality?
 
You're paying for a brand name.

Like a 200 coach bag vs a 2000 Hermes bag (been there, done both lol).

Is it better? Sure, maybe. Don't try to justify prices, it never works lol especially with "customs".

Good luck!

Edit: I also think, 150 for a bit of grivory amd metal, made overseas is too much. The 20.5 joins the peña FFT as my most underwhelming knives bought. I'm in the middle getting rid of all mine at a loss :D
 
There are basically 3 popular different knives, AD20.5, AD20S, and AD20, wich have different price windows, depending on steel, scales, etc.

Just my gut feelings on current prices, I might be off a bit:

- AD20.5: $120 - ~$300 (Ti scales)
- AD20S: up to ~$400 ?
- AD20: basically no limit. With Ti scales and Cruwear easily above $1400; when it was new in Grivory with 20CV, it was a little more than $300

BTW: might consider getting a Gold membership to discuss prices.

The rules only state you must have a paid subscription to ask valuations, it says nothing about discussing retail pricing.

if we are talking about the production made in Taiwan shark lock models...i saw 140s to 1050s range....... without really looking hard to find those exact price ranges..of 120 to 1400.

in my examples I saw at a single dealer.....the lower end are grivory and aus10 steel. the highest end i saw was 3v and timascus scales. so yeah materials and limited run.

U.S. versus Tawainese manufactured models, no?

I was wondering this exactly. Are some high production and some hand built/small batch?

I think he liked 'em so much he wanted them all over again!


But, I didn't know they made a Cruwear model. It is one of my favorite steels, don't know that I'd pay thousands of dollars for Titanium though

And you felt a need to comment on that two months later, by adding pretty much nothing to the discussion of a dormant thread. Now you know why you run afoul of the moderators from time to time.
