MG AD-10

[johnnytoxin]

I’ve seen video of Andrew talking about a new machine ground AD-10 but haven’t seen any out in the wild. Anyone have any info on when they will be produced and if they will be available at retailers? Demko Knives MWallace

They're up on Knifecenter.

Here's a video

All the way at the end

Not sure if any non-customs are being produced.

IMO, the MG ad10 will likely not be produced in volume. They are a PITA to manufacture and assemble. They are identical to the HG version currently being produced with some hand grinding to the blade, ti hardware and some ano work, and they sell for $2400 vs an MG at $850. It makes no sense for them to produce the MG AD10 with the effort involved. Just my opinion and would recommend picking up an MG as they are a great value for the customer.

These will be a standard production model with limited availability and no ETA at this time.

This thread is older, but I'll ask anyway. In this video (~12:14) from the Blade Show 2022, Andrew Demko shows the AD 10m with the modified Triad Lock. Is the model, or rather the modified Triad Lock, still current, or have these plans been scrapped?

Curious for an update as well

Hmmm...me too.

I’ve been looking for one of these but they seem unobtainium unless you I make it to blade or get a proxy

Probably my favorite 3. AD10 from makers syndicate 2024, Gen1 AD20 and AD20 Compact. Feel very fortunate to have landed the AD10 because I agree, they are very hard to find.

I'm still waiting for someone to provide the weight of the ti version out of curiosity.

Well, off to buy a scale now. Be back with you in a few days unless someone else beats me to the punch.

Or you can just send it to me to weigh it for you. I promise to send it back. Scouts honor...

(Nah, I wouldn't trust me either.)

Scale purchased. Been wanting/needing one for a while anyway(that’ll be my story anyway). I’ll get you that weight right away kind sir.

 

[Jetlau3111]

My guess is 9.9 oz .thicker blade and non contoured scales compared to the CS version and that comes in over 9

That's quite a handful, if so.

Yes the current production model is the AD-10M (modified Tri-Ad lock)

For your viewing pleasure. The scale was $30, not the cheapest and not the most expensive. I noticed it can fluctuate in the hundredths of an ounce sometimes so I had to re-weigh a couple to make sure.
