Just so everyone knows, the lynch clips for the 20.5 DO fit the 20 and the 20S. They are all interchangeable.
Any hot info on clip for AD10?
I love this channel and your nife therapy series, its not rushed, its intelligent, and enjoyable. No fake phony random laughing just a real chill dude talking about knives
Always so thorough on your reviews. Keep up the good work! That mechanical keyboard clicking sound is really satisfying.
Yea I absolutely love this knife and didn't think I would. Now I have a TI full flat clip point 3v ad20, a XHP sharkfoot ad20s, and a TI ad20.5 with a custom Transparent Knives magnacut reblade (#95) @64.8 hrc!
Thank you for the awesome review! Really appreciate the hard work you put in ✌️
This is one of my grail knives for sure. Love the size action and performance you can get out of one. Definatly a hard use knife and it fits that role quite well. This is about as close as you can get to replacing a fixed blade with a folder. Thanks for the great vid and keep making sharp things fun and enjoyable.
Great long term review
This best be the real JN and not a troll!!??
Nice review as always. Thanks Stassa.
Great video! Good to see you having fun with it
Nice knife. I like different locking mechanisms on knives. Keeps it interesting.
Greetings from a Tiny Island in MAINE, USA 🇺🇸😀
Man you really tested that knife and THANK YOU for that.
So many reviewers show paper and cardboard but I like to see how a knife will hold up when the shtf and you need to take care of it and do not have a beater handy.
I subbed and look forward to your future videos.
Very informative. I've been waiting for the invention of time travel to get one of these.
I have the Demko Knives AD20 MG in CPM 3V absolutely love it. It is my most fidgety knife. Scores a solid argey wife on my testing standard. I unconsciously fidget with my knives. The more annoyed my wife the hight the rating. The AD20 is King.
Same here lol 👌🍻🍻
The deep carry clip is an awesome addition.
Great job again
I subscribed today and look forward to more vids, very enjoyable content!!!!
All the best from Western Australia!!!!!!!!
I want a AD20 so bad, I hope more are available soon and I can grab one
I missed out on the AD20 - was just too much $ for me at the time - but I’ve been enjoying my 20.5s quite a bit. The lock is insanely fun! I’m hoping to track down a decent deal/trade on an AD20 one of these days!
"The clickety-clack-clack-click" Dig it.
I really want a ad20.
Good review Nick. I really don’t worry about the strength of the lock, except on other peoples gas station knives. But kudos for demko on locks, but please move up t;he steel food chain on the 20.5.
Yeah I am hoping we get a better steel for the AD20.5 soon
The kid in me wants one, even though I rarely need something that large and thick.
You can get the AD20s. Same knife just thinner blade stock. I have 3 of them now. One coming my way from the drop in the Netherlands the other day in 204p and 2 of the normal ones in D2. Missed at Knife Joy with the m390 I had like 5 different ones in cart and it kept going out of stock when I was checking out. I have the clip point and shark foot the 204p is a drop point. The D2 ones only have thumb studs there should be more premium options coming though. Think s45vn and some other steels are supposed to drop over the coming weeks throughout different sites then at Blade Show they are gonna have custom hand ground Magnacut AD20 with like a harpoon clip and I think shark foot but you gotta be at Blade to get one and lucky enough to get one of the handful they have
I hope to find one someday...maybe they will be easier to find at some point...just not a big fan of the AD20.5...big brother is the one I want.
Same man, been searching for awhile I hope the AD20’s come back
does linerless build make it less durable for lateral stress?
My ad20, ad20.5, and ad20slim demkos have made it hard for any other knife to get pocket time. All of mine have lefty lynch clips.
Man I wish they would do a 20.5 in a respectable steel
I want one in a fixed blade 5.5 inch
This is one I've been wanting to try for a while. I don't think I'd like the 20.5
I agree that 20cv sucks. Additionally cruwear > 3v. Thoughts?
Always wanted one but I have so many great knives I trade blades know saves cash wanna trade make it worth your wild and u can set up the trade how u would like I get people are trashy scam artists these days definitely have a number of great blades worth trading for this blade plus an extra blade just for u trading it’s not easy to find a good trade
Andrew has left handed clips. You just need to contact him and he'll get one to you
Someday…
I'm surprised the shark lock thing doesn't bother your hand. That's the one thing about the 20.5 that I do not like, and it keeps it out of my rotation. Probably going to sell it unfortunately. To each his own 👍
The full size isn’t sharp like the 20.5 and it’s wider so it doesn’t bother the thumb.
@@buckshot1955 Thanks, good to know!
I guess it’s just the way I grip it or the size of my hands. I did have to reposition my hand on the 20.5 because it is a little rough on the edges but the AD20 it’s not an issue
Any know of a good deep carry clip for the ad15 that they've tried.
Aftermarket clips for the kershaw cryo fit the ad15
@@sinister_knife Thanks for response.
Where (and when?) can these by found? I've been watching his site and DLT and others for nearly a month, and nothing.
I kept an eye on his IG page to see where certain batches go but I haven’t seen any drops in a little while not sure if he is preparing for Blade show in June or not
Its probably been a year since I have seen any AD20. There has been 4 drops of AD20S in the last few months and more to come since I think there will be s45vn and some other steels. I have a 204p one in route to me from the Netherlands right now and I have a clip point and shark foot in D2 already which all AD20S were in D2 till the Knife Joy that was m390 and these from where I got mine in Europe that was 204p and both those upgraded steels have a different drop point blade shape and have both slot and studs the D2 are just studs. There is going to be hand ground custom Magnacut AD20 at Blade Show
I have three of them. You have to just keep at it. Maybe even for a year or more unless you’re a psycho like me. DLT, knife center, national knives, knifejoy, blade hq…… maybe others
You're giving me a hard time. Now im not sure what to get. Adamas or AD20? 🤔
AD20 hands down man!
y
Does the lock have sharp edges like my 20.5 did or is it chamfered better
I’ll check it tomorrow, not sure
Because I never had any issues with it but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t 👍
The standard full thickness ad20 has a lock that is wire cut in the USA. They are more smooth than the 20.5 and 20 Slims in D2 since those locks are made in Taiwan. Personally I have no issues with the Taiwan locks though.
This is the model that should cost $160-$200 & the 20.5 should cost $50 .Demkos prices are way overinflated considering the materials these things are basic production knives not intricate hand made customs Demko been riding a pretty nice wave last couple years .Good for him he has a solid following that find value in what he puts out & are willing to pay his exorbitant prices. Awesome Video you do a great job .👍
😂😂😂😂
Since it’s somewhat handmade maybe $300 is more appropriate and maybe $100 for the 20.5. Other Cold Steels are in that range or lower
There are benchmade and spidercos that are more than $200 and aren’t half of what this knife is. You’re a long way off.
I don’t have an issue with the AD20 mainly because I test a ton of knives and it was a performance beast and so many of the knives don’t come close but of course materials alone don’t add up but that’s usually always the case with production knives over $100 👍
When talking value in knives someone's time is always overlooked. We all value our time and time is money. Sure if this was a Benchmade or Spyderco where they just hammer them out on an assembly line ok. Demko is a small shop and you pay for that small shop time with hand manufacturing and assembly. If the PM2 or Griptilian were made the same way the AD-20 is the cost would be much higher. CRK, Hinderer and Medford all value their time and it reflects in the cost, none of those materials make up the prices of those knives either, it's simply valued time.
