Demko Shark Cub
The Demko Shark Cub brings the Shark Lock into a compact, lightweight folder built for everyday pocket time. With a 2.75-inch blade and an overall length just under 7 inches, it sits in a size class that works for daily tasks without the bulk of a full-size hard-use folder. If you're familiar with the AD20.5, think of the Shark Cub as its more pocketable counterpart — same lock DNA, tighter footprint.
The Shark Lock operates from a fin on the spine that doubles as a thumb ramp when the blade is deployed. Spring-driven and one-hand friendly, it locks with authority and releases cleanly without requiring a shift in grip. The blade rides on bearings, so deployment through the oblong hole is smooth and consistent out of the box.
Blade steel splits across two tiers. The premium models run CPM-20CV — a high-chromium steel with strong edge retention and solid corrosion resistance suited for users who want long intervals between sharpenings. The budget-friendly line uses AUS-10A, a reliable stainless option that sharpens easily and handles everyday cutting without complaint. Blade shapes include the Clip Point, Shark Foot, and Slicer, each offering a different balance of tip utility and edge geometry.
Handle configurations range from GRN on the entry-level models to G-10 on the mid-tier 20CV versions and titanium on the top shelf. The Stealth variant takes a different approach entirely — blacked-out aluminum handles paired with a DLC-coated 20CV blade for a streamlined, low-profile carry. Across all versions, the deep-carry ambidextrous pocket clip keeps the knife riding low.
At under 3 ounces in the lighter configurations, the Shark Cub disappears in a pocket. For users who want the Shark Lock platform without committing to a larger frame, or anyone stepping into the Demko lineup for the first time, this is a strong entry point. Pair it with other models in the Demko Knives collection to see where it fits in the broader range.
