Great tutorial! Thanks for supporting our growing brand! We've got a handful of back spacers and thumb studs to choose from on our site. - Logan
Thanks Logan! I saw and ordered the brass back spacer that I think will complete this build perfectly! Thanks for making great stuff and following up on feedback!
Really nice of you folks interacting with small content creators.
I'd been on the fence getting scales from you folks or from a local scale maker, but now I know I'll be ordering from you.
🤘🤘
@@greytging Haha we do our best. It's the small creators who give us the best, honest feedback. Thanks for your support!
Put these same scales on my 3V and bought the black titanium backspacer from Flytanium at the same time to match the rest of my hardware. It was perfecto.
They are really excellent scales! Thanks for watching!
Brahhh they do sell a titanium back spacer, I just bought it with these scales in blue! Gives the blade a bit of a different ring when the blade is swung closed
Thanks for watching and lookin' out! They didn't at the time of the video because I bought the scales on the day they dropped. I have a brass backspacer in this knife now! Catch ya on the next one, more Demko content comin in hot!
Hello. I would like to ask you a question: I used to have the AD 10, and its liners were made of aluminum. In the AD 20.5 and yours, the liners are made of steel, but I don't know what type of steel. Do you think it's necessary to apply any oil to this part? I'm not referring to the part of the liners that face the scales, as those are protected, but to the part facing the blade
I'm not sure what the composition is but I think it's pretty corrosion resistant. I'm sure it would rust if you dropped it in salt water but for regular pocket time I'd doubt oil is necessary.
Good ol flat black spray paint would have worked on your back spacer
Very True! I’m super glad though that they released replacements quickly after this. The knife is now rocking a brass backspacer and it’s fun! Thanks for watching!
@Ol' Bubs yes the lime green looks crazy good with black blade. Just got mine in all black and about to order the lime scales. Although they have a new wood grain texture look I'm trying to decide which to do. Thanks for the reply 👍
So many decisions!! 😂
I just received my AD20.5 and find the lock release to be very sharp. Is this normal for a new knife. I’m hoping after awhile maybe the spring will soften and won’t require as much pressure on the release. I’m sure I won’t have a problem using it but I’m glad I’m not one to be flipping it around all the time.
The spring will definitely soften a bit over time, but you can also just knock the edge of the gimping down a touch with a file or sand paper. It hasn’t really bothered me, but I also do have calluses on my fingers from flipping knives a little too often.
Thanks for watching and take care!!
i changed my scales last week and dont even need to remove the liner at all just remove the scales and replace threads on spacer and done. no need at all for a full disassemble
Thanks for watching and the insight. It’s certainly a fair point, especially if the knife has been recently cleaned/lubricated. I find myself preferring to disassemble and clean most times, and sometimes getting the pivot pushed back through can be tricky if you opt to not take it all the way apart. Enjoy your fresh scales!
@@olbubs ya mine was brand new so i didnt bother disassembling completely
The wavelength has a cool design but it's a pocket shredder. I sanded down mine to be more pocket friendly.
Thanks for watching! Sanding down G10 makes a huge difference!
ive never seen a locking knife that could be swung open by holding it upside down by the handle and swinging it. is the detent soft enough for it to accidentally open in your pocket?
Hey Paul, the detent is definitely strong enough to keep closed in your pocket. It actually takes a bit of practice to open the knife that way. I’ve found that actually almost all spring related mechanisms (axis style locks etc.) can open this way if you flick them hard enough. It won’t happen by accident though!
I actually found that to be cool I never knew you could open an ad 20.5 like that. It's actually really fast to get into the reverse grip that way.
Scales sounds really cool but a confusing term. I would consider these grips as it adheres better to our language. English. Scales are usually found on things that are alive. Fish lizards and they can even weigh you which is cool. Scales? Is this slang or is this the real terminology knife experts use?
Hey Stig! Scales is indeed the lingo (predominant nomenclature if you will) in the knife world for folding knives. It is a bit odd, but the term used!
Thanks for watching!
@@olbubs had to ask! Interesting terminology. I was trying to be a bit funny too lol 😝 great video regardless!
Brass pocket clip with neon green??? 🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮
Hey Mike Mike, I send my deepest condolences for all of the pain and vomiting I may have caused you.
🤣Thanks for watching!
@@olbubs I'm still trying to recover from loss of dehydration. 😮💨. All jokes aside Andrew knocked it out of the park again. Guys a genius
