Knife Locks

The Shark-Lock™, designed and engineered by Andrew Demko.

The Shark-Lock™ mechanism is situated on the spine of the knife and operated with a ramp-like ‘fin.’ Opening the blade makes the spring-driven lock arm move up and then into a notch in the tang, situating it beneath a lock pin. This range of movement is noteworthy. It’s unique in that the locking mechanism moves forward and back while also moving up and down. This allows for a greater-sized blade tang, making a better mechanical advantage in a specific area. And because the drive spring that moves the locking element up into the locked position is contained within the locking arm itself, it won’t be subject to dirt and grime.

The Scorpion Lock, designed and engineered by Andrew Demko.

Designed to be a standalone locking system able to function with one hand, this unique locking mechanism keeps your hand out of the blade path when closing lock. It also allows for additional security when using the knife with a full grip.

One of the most notable features of this locking mechanism is the self-adjusting wear. As the knife is used and the parts wear, the locking pin continues to wedge into the blade tang ensuring secure lock up.

The open construction of this blade and locking mechanism allows users to easily clean and maintain their knife. Another key feature is the locking area in the blade tang has no sharp corners that could lead to a potential stress fracture.

The Scorpion Lock is one of the most innovative locking mechanisms in the industry and brings yet another award winning piece to the Demko Knives arsenal.
