We believe that each of the world's historic knifemaking regions and its craftspeople offer uniquely valuable techniques and insights, giving the AD20I additional touches of character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlades from Italy\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe \"I\" in the AD20I stands for \"International\", signifying the collaborative effort across continents that makes this model possible. Partners were chosen from Maniago, Italy because of the city's centuries-old knifemaking heritage. Due to Italy's specific geography and market placement, it is also able to access some unique steels that are hard to obtain in the United States. Demko Knives chose to explore this opportunity with a new stainless steel called Nitro-X7 from German manufacturer, Buderus Edelstahlwerke, which prioritizes the benefits of Nitro-V and Nitro-B steels into a new recipe designed to compete with the newest stainless super-steels of the knife world.\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKnives from Pennsylvania\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eDemko's Maniago partners executes the blade grinding for this new steel. This allows the AD20I project to showcase the beauty and difference in technique of expert Italian knifemakers. Once the blades are ground, they are sent to the Demko Knives headquarters in New Castle, PA, where the USA-made chassis and lock is combined and assembled with the blades into a final knife. All assembly and testing is performed in Pennsylvania.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Demko Knives","offers":[{"title":"Textured Titanium","offer_id":52301031342372,"sku":null,"price":650.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Smooth Titanium","offer_id":52301031375140,"sku":null,"price":650.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Carbon Fiber","offer_id":54013988667684,"sku":null,"price":550.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Black G10","offer_id":52301031407908,"sku":null,"price":450.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Blue G10","offer_id":55587965501732,"sku":null,"price":450.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Dayglow G10","offer_id":55587965534500,"sku":null,"price":450.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Earth G10","offer_id":55587965567268,"sku":null,"price":450.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Natural G10","offer_id":55587965600036,"sku":null,"price":450.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Neon Green G10","offer_id":55587965632804,"sku":null,"price":450.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Tan G10","offer_id":55587965665572,"sku":null,"price":450.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0676\/4072\/1700\/files\/AD20I-slim-nitrox7-clip-tex-ti.jpg?v=1782931325"},{"product_id":"shark-a-tac-magnacut","title":"Shark-A-Tac® MagnaCut","description":"\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA Tactical Knife for Everyday Use\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe Shark-A-Tac is a tribute to the now-vintage tactical knife scene of the early 2000s. The Y2K era gave rise to knife designs that shifted focus from traditional everyday tasks to mission-driven urban survival and rescue duties, cementing \"tactical\" as a definitive category within the knife industry. The Demko Shark-A-Tac gives a nod to the tactical culture of the era while providing a refreshingly clean design that's built performance first. Featuring the notoriously strong Demko Shark-Lock, this knife represents the union of tactical concepts and true capability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGlass Breaker\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe Shark-A-Tac has a purposeful tactical element not found in previous Demko knife models: a glass breaker built into the backspacer. Available in a pointed carbide \"spike\" or a rounded \"soft touch\" carbide ball, either glass breaker option easily breaks glass with minimal effort. The high hardness and small surface area of the carbide glass breaker causes glass to shatter with relatively little force. Having a true glass breaker on this knife makes the Shark-A-Tac ideal for anyone in military, rescue, and first-responder roles. Carrying it as your EDC means that you have an emergency rescue tool on your person at all times that can help save yourself or others in vehicle accidents. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eFor those who don't want a glass breaker tool, the Shark-A-Tac can be optioned with traditional standoffs instead of the glass breaker backspacer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUniversal Grip\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe Shark-A-Tac is a deviation from Andrew Demko's typical knife design language. While all of Andrew's handle designs focus on secure grip and comfort for a wide range of hand sizes, the Shark-A-Tac handle is a truly neutral shape. The lack of finger grooves and return at the end of the handle means that people with any hand size can comfortably use this knife in many grip positions during a wide range of tasks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSlicey Blade\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe Shark-A-Tac is designed with a slim, tall blade geometry that is best for slicing. Important in tactical situations when every second matters, slicey knife blades aid in rescuing a person out of a seat belt or cutting rope in a backwoods emergency. The CPM MagnaCut steel provides excellent edge retention over time, is easy to resharpen, and remains tough enough for hard use. Its stainless properties help reduce the amount of time it takes to maintain the knife in damp conditions or adverse weather.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Demko Knives","offers":[{"title":"Smooth Titanium \/ Spike Carbide","offer_id":52301242237220,"sku":null,"price":725.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Smooth Titanium \/ Soft Touch Carbide","offer_id":52652026331428,"sku":null,"price":725.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Smooth Titanium \/ No Breaker","offer_id":52652026364196,"sku":null,"price":725.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Patterned Titanium (Limited) \/ Spike Carbide","offer_id":55588288135460,"sku":null,"price":725.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Patterned Titanium (Limited) \/ Soft Touch Carbide","offer_id":55588288168228,"sku":null,"price":725.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Patterned Titanium (Limited) \/ No Breaker","offer_id":55588288200996,"sku":null,"price":725.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0676\/4072\/1700\/files\/shark-a-tac-spike-carbide.jpg?v=1774625652"}],"url":"https:\/\/demkoknives.com\/collections\/drop-zone.oembed","provider":"Demko Knives","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
