Photos Early AD20 CruWear

[RocketFoot]

Hey guys, I was very fortunate to be able to pick up a beautiful, early, full thickness AD20! It has an enhanced clip point, hand scribbed CruWear blade. It is wearing factory Red Wine G10 scales. I was told that it is somewhat rare because of the enhanced swedge that was added one off for a blade show but all the other stock knives did not have the swedge on the clip point. At any rate, it is in un-used, un-sharpened and un-modded condition! The full thickness AD20's are really something to experience! Thanks for looking!

Demko Knives MWallace , is there anyway this could be confirmed with Andrew or John? Thank you!

nice find. I could never grab any Demko customs in the past so I never much paid attention to the details of them.

Nice details. What kind of locking mechanism is that?

Email support@demkoknives.com. I believe this was recently posted on the Demko Dynamic Knives FB group and people confirmed it was an enhanced version.

Here is John confirming the blad on IG.

That is Demko's Shark Lock system! I highly recommend it for hard use or casual fidgeting!

Sorry for the late reply RocketFoot. I’ll check in with Andrew and John to see if I can get some more information for you.

Thanks Mike! Not that it is a museum piece or something, but if it happens to be a little rare, I might leave it original instead of doing any scale swaps or anything to it! Have a great weekend!

Confirmed from Andrew that is an old one with the hand scribed CruWear. This is also what he termed an “enhanced” variant. He would add certain features (hand ground swedge) to knives being sold at shows. You definitely found a keeper!

This is my standard AD-20 with hand scribed CW ("Cru-Wear"). No swedge.

Purchased from DLT after a telephone conversation with John Demko a few years back. I was very fortunate to be able to get the one I was hoping for.

"Keeper" for sure.
