The Den of Demko: Let's see your Demko and Demko-designed knives!

[Dadpool]

I've been a fan of Demko's work since I handled my first Demko-designed Cold Steel knife. Between Cold Steel, occasional collabs with other companies, and now Demko Knives in multiple price brackets, there are a ton of awesome Demko designs out in the world.

I didn't see a dedicated thring for all things Demko, so when my AD20S arrived I figured I'd start one. Everything from Cold Steel to Demko customs is welcome here -- let's see some pics!

Gorgeous! How are those scales overall? I see them on a lot of AD20s and they look awesome.

Dang, the AD20 looks great in OD green!

Those are A-W-E-S-O-M-E and extremely well done! It adds so much more to an already decent knife, but with those scales… boy what an amazing piece now and the heft!

Many of my favorite Cold Steel are at least partly Demko .

Any Tri-ad lock folder and IIRC some fixed blades like the Mini-Tac .

(Middle one is Alan Folts designed "SPEW" .)

Ooh, I've never seen the Mini Tac before. Neat!

I forgot I currently own one other Demko design -- and it's the ancestral root of the Shark Lock, too. The CS Pocket Bushman, with its Ram Safe lock:

To quote Christmas Vacation: "Clark, baby, I can picture it in my mind. And it's breathtaking."

Most of mine (so far), not including various other CS knives he was involved in. Also have a CS AD10 somewhere. Just put the red scales on the sharksfoot today. Crazy how massive the 20 seems after getting used to the 20.5.

Still waiting for the perfect AD20 to pop up at the perfect timing, but for now I'm enjoying my 20.5. This was the BHQ jade version before I gave it a fade dye job, brushed the flats, and flamed the hardware

I also have the DLT excusive 4Max, which I made my own as well (of course )

That AD15 up top has been a favorite for years. Have an SR1 Lite as well that lives in a tool bag.

Great knives , stunning colors and backdrop scenery ...and some dang good photographic technique !

Excellent idea for a thread! I have a bunch of Cold Steels, some 20.5s, but I sold my AD20s. On the hunt for one in MagnaCut!

I'm a newer Demko Den-izen ( I crack myself up) as I only have and AD20.5 in 3V. Never was a fan of the Tri-Ad lock, but love the shark lock. Carrying sharkboy today in fact.

My new scales were supposed to arrive yesterday, but Fedex is having some delay. I'm changing the name from FedEx to FedUp. First they send my $330 ammo shipment to someone else (I ended up with an auto part) and now this. I've been dealing with the ammo shipment for over a week to no avail.
