A Collaboration Celebrating International Knifemaking Heritage

The AD20I project is a collaborative effort between Demko Knives' Pennsylvania, USA headquarters and Demko's friends and partners around the world. Demko Knives has invited a select few international knifemakers to join the AD20I project. We believe that each historic knifemaking region and it's craftspeople offer unique and valuable techniques and insights, giving the AD20I touches of each area's character.

What’s in a Name?

The "I" in the AD20I stands for "International", signifying the collaborative effort across continents that makes this model truly unique. For this model, partners in Maniago, Italy--a historic city well-known for its knifemaking heritage--were chosen by Demko to create the MagnaCut blades.

Introducing the AD20I Slim

The AD20I Slim takes everything great about the AD20I and redefines it into a streamlined design without sacrificing strength, integrity, or versatility. The result is a lighter, slimmer profile which makes it perfect for those who want a rugged performance-first knife with a refined and sleek aesthetic.

Why Maniago, Italy?

We chose Maniago, Italy, as the home for crafting our blades because it’s known for a centuries-old tradition of knife-making. Nestled in the foothills of the Italian Alps, Maniago has been synonymous with master knife-makers since the 15th century. The region’s blend of artisanal skill and cutting-edge precision are unmatched, making it the perfect place to laser-cut and CNC mill the AD20I Slim full flat grind (FFG) blades.

Each AD20I blade is sent to Demko's Pennsylvania shop where it is hand-sharpened and united with Demko's USA-made handles. Hand-assembly is performed by Demko Knives.
