Well, it's just about quitting time on Friday and as long as the mailman holds up his end of the bargain I'll have my first two Demko's waiting on me in the mailbox when I get home! And maybe a Lynch NW lefty clip. I'm a life-long 3rd generation Buck fan, but am also a mechanical engineer who loves a variety of locks, actions, and designs so I occasionally stray from the fold. Sooo, thanks to David C. Anderson's Knife Center videos, and Demko's generous military/veteran's discount, I'm about to see what this Shark Lock is all about - and am very much looking forward to it. I ordered an AD20.5, and a Shark Cub.

I already see some familiar names here in this sub-forum. I'm looking forward to getting to know a new (to me) knife-maker. Have a great weekend, and I'll report back with some pictures later.

Welcome to the Demko Knives Family. As a mechanical engineer I think you’ll appreciate it’s form and function Also the Shark-Lock smooth, solid, and fidgety. I hope you like them.
 
Mr. Mailman held up his end of the bargain and these were waiting for me yesterday afternoon. I think I found a couple winners here.

The AD20.5 is carbon fiber and D2. I’m the sort who much prefers traditional, non-Vanadium Carbide steels so I was super happy about that. The Cub is CPM’s 20CV, but that’s what was available and is a new steel for me so it’ll be okay. But I’ll swap it out in a heartbeat if Demko makes a clip point cub in D2 or AEB-L! And maybe they do and I just haven’t seen it yet.

I have a Lynch lefty deep carry clip coming for the 20.5. I’m also considering a pair of Micarta scales. I bought both because I wanted to compare the sizes. I love both and would be super happy with either if I had to choose just one. That race is so close it would easily go to the one in the traditional D2. Fortunately we live in a time and place where we don’t have to make that choice. :)

I love the Shark Lock. Both came super sharp out of the box and with just a couple passes on an ultra fine ceramic are crazy sharp. I’m definitely happy I bought these two.

I’m really looking forward to carrying these and getting to know them.

Have a great weekend, y’all!
