159,85 €This product is intended for use only by adults with knowledge and experience in handling sharp cutting tools. Improper use of the knife can result in serious injuries. The blade is extremely sharp and can easily cut through skin and tissue; therefore, extra caution should always be exercised while cutting, and hands should be kept away from the cutting edge. To prevent the knife from slipping, it is recommended to cut on a stable, non-slip surface and avoid excessive force, which may cause uncontrolled blade movement.
Leaving the knife on the edge of a table, countertop, or in easily accessible places—especially where children are present—poses a significant safety risk. The knife should always be properly secured after use, ideally by placing it on a stable surface or storing it in designated knife blocks, protective sheaths, or magnetic strips. The knife should never be used for tasks it is not designed for, such as opening cans or prying objects, as this can damage the tool and lead to dangerous accidents.
A dull blade increases the risk of injury, as it requires more force and is more likely to slip from the material being cut. Therefore, it is essential to sharpen the knife regularly to maintain optimal sharpness. Additionally, proper cleaning and drying of the knife are necessary to prevent corrosion and bacterial growth. Periodic inspection of the handle and blade is recommended to check for cracks, chips, or looseness. If any damage is detected, the knife should be repaired or replaced immediately.
When using the knife, focus solely on the task at hand—avoid talking on the phone, watching television, or other distractions while cutting. Ensure proper lighting in the workspace for better visibility and control. Please note that some countries or regions have laws restricting the ownership and carrying of knives. Before purchasing or using this knife, verify that its use is legal in your location according to applicable regulations.
Following these safety guidelines will help ensure safe and effective knife use, minimizing the risk of accidents and extending the lifespan of the tool.
AD20.5 Clip Point Grey Grivory, Black DLC D2, the result of years of work and experience of Andrew Demko, a long-time designer at Cold Steel. A compact folding knife that was designed for the toughest tasks. A real tool, characterized not only by its robustness and power, but also by its unique design. Ergonomic Handle, made of Grivory composite and Blade made of D2, a proven tool steel. One of the most important elements of the knife is its lock. Shark-Lock™ is an innovative mechanism that is considered one of the strongest in the world. Thanks to it, the knife is not only safe to use, but also gives you the confidence that it will stand up to even the toughest tasks. This is an exceptional example of a compact EDC knife, an excellent choice for anyone looking for a reliable everyday tool.
Andrew Demko - owner and founder of Demko Knives, first started forging chisels in 1988, when he was in seventh grade. He immediately realized it was his passion and began forging knives almost immediately. Like many blacksmiths, Andrew began his journey in the garage, honing blade shapes and sharpening them on a small grinder. Andrew's passion for engineering and attention to detail was noticed by the well-known Cold Steel company. At Cold Steel, Andrew developed some of the most innovative and powerful locking mechanisms in the industry. The legendary Tri-Ad Lock, Scorpion Lock, and most recently the one-handed operator's dream - the Shark-Lock.
D2 - a high-carbon, high-chromium high-speed tool steel heat-treated to 58-60 HRC. With a high 13.0% chromium (Cr) content, it offers greater corrosion resistance than most high-carbon steels. Combines strength, excellent edge holding and easy sharpening. Features high wear resistance due to high carbide content in the microstructure.
DLC (Diamond Like Carbon) durability of the blade surface is enhanced with a matte black nanocomposite coating, which exhibits unique properties such as exceptional hardness and low friction, as well as excellent corrosion protection. It is one of the most resistant coatings to scratches and abrasion that are used in the industry, including the knife industry.
Shark-Lock™ mechanism is located on the back of the knife and is operated by a ramp-like "flipper." When the blade is opened, the spring-driven locking arm moves up and then into a notch in the shank, placing it under the locking pin. Uniquely, the locking mechanism moves forward and backward while moving up and down at the same time. This allows for an increase in the size of the blade contact area, providing better mechanical strength in a specific area. And because the drive spring that moves the locking element upward to the locked position is located in the locking arm itself, it will not be exposed to dirt and debris.
Blade - Clip Point type, coated with black DLC coating. The belly extends the length of the cutting edge in relation to the length of the slender blade converging towards the needle-sharp tip of the knife. The thickness of the blade provides high strength while the high, flat grind gives excellent cutting edge geometry and extreme cutting performance. Ball bearings support the opening of the blade with either a dual thumb stud in the blade (dual thumb stud) or an oval hole (thumb hole). The entire blade is locked with what is considered the world's strongest Shark-Lock™.
Handle - Grivory grips, a virtually indestructible plastic that is insensitive to weather conditions, resistant to chemicals and mechanical damage. The chamfered edges of the covers eliminate sharp edges and the characteristic textured surface improves grip security. A single-position, right-handed clip allows the knife to be carried in the tip-up position, with the tip of the blade upward. A left-handed clip is included.
