Can't say enough good things about the Demko customs,they are honestly tough,simple,and do the job. In an apocalyptic event,God forbid that never happens..but if you were stuck with the choice of any folder(folder is the key word here) the Demkos would most likely be the smartest choice. AD15 full Ti since march 2018. Hope to own an AD10 full Ti in the future.
I've bought the last full Ti with 20CV blade off of DullKnivesTerminator 😃 I feel so lucky! The AD15 is beefy,such a beautiful knife Andrew has given birth to. Despite it being an elegant looking knife, it is definitely a hard use one. Thank You Sir. Demko for making the AD15. I've always wanted a custom grail knife. And due to Andrew's focus on strong locks, I've pull the trigger on this one and will probably be the only custom knife I'll ever purchase because of it. Keep up the great work Andrew!
Hey John, I received my AD15 yesterday and i am completely satisfied with it,couldn't be more happier. from what I understand is that the AD15 is discontinued? is it because due to it being a custom knife of limited production or other reasons? Thank you for your last reply! you guys do a great work! btw Amy is my mother I'm using her account haha have a great day!
There's a video of Andrew demonstrating the weight hang test on the AD10 which holds 800lbs+. about the AD15...these are Andrew's exact words from blade forum: hi guys, The AD-15 is proving to be a great knife, in some tests the blades break before the handle or lock. However this all depends on the frame, for example the all ti frame holds more weight than the g10/liner model. The thickness of the ti liner also makes a difference in total strength. I tested a knife with .053" ti liner and it held about 275-300 pounds (weight 4" from pivot). The failure was the lower g10/ti it spread (under compression) and eventually buckled. Also the ALLTI went to about 400 pounds 4" from pivot and the blade broke,like a triad does. I have now modified the heat treatment to the same as I do on triads, so I do expect even higher numbers in my next round of testing.

This is your best design imo I love it. If you could make a smaller slicier version would own 2 of them.

I got one in all black. Been carrying it about 3 months now. LOVE IT!!
Did you get it from Atlantic knife?
Very nice 👍🏼 I’m going to treat myself to one. Will be my next knife purchase. 💸😃
What a beautiful knife... that blue one is stunning.
I'll take the green one!
Can the scorpion lock handle as much shock as the triad lock?
yaborin
More vids with Andrew
How does the lock strength compare to the Triad lock?
