I know Demko’s can get a lot of flack for being overpriced for the materials, but I just gotta say: they are still easily my favorite knives. If you know where to look you can get good deals. For example, I got both AD20.5s for $80-90, which imo is a good price. Similar price for Shark Cub. I also think the grivory and aus10a are better than most people give them credit for. Pretty similar to 154cm and the handles are SOLID for being grivory. Sure you’re probably paying a little extra for the design and lock, but honestly? More power to Demko (within reason of course, no $200 aus8 plz 😂) because it is a phenomenal design and the lock is simply incredible. People are paying $80+ for the Chaves X-Lock which is also D2! (I also have one of those in case anybody is wondering). For people like me who are limited by budget, the AD20.5 grivory/aus10a versions are awesome. I’m looking forward to saving up and getting a grail AD20.5 in full titanium someday!
