Demko AD20 CXT - Scale Mail Titanium - Barong CPM-3V Blade

CPM-3V Shark Lock with Scale Mail Titanium Handles

The Demko AD20 CXT brings Andrew Demko's Shark Lock mechanism to a barong-style blade, giving users a hard-use folder with a distinctive profile and a lock system built for durability. This is a knife for those who want serious blade geometry backed by premium materials.

Blade

The 3.5" barong blade is made from CPM-3V steel with a stonewash finish at .250" thick. 3V is prized for its toughness, holding up to impact and hard use far better than most high-carbide steels while still offering solid edge retention. The barong shape carries a forward-swept belly that adds cutting power through the length of the blade, making it effective for slicing tasks that need extra bite.

Handle

The handle is titanium with a Scale Mail pattern machined into the surface. Titanium is lightweight, corrosion resistant, and naturally strong, and the Scale Mail texture adds both grip and visual depth without adding bulk. Handle thickness runs .650", and the knife weighs 8.15oz.

Carry

The Shark Lock is Demko's own locking mechanism, using a rocker-style bar that locks the blade open with a firm, reliable engagement while remaining simple to disengage with one hand. The pocket clip is set up for right-hand, tip-up carry only.

Made in the USA.
