Anybody get a new Demko Nano Shark yet? I gotta say, it is built like a tank and fits the hand rather well for a smaller sized knife! I love this thing!

Blade cutting length is: 2.13"
Blade Thickness is: 3.4mm/0.134 (same as the AD20S Slim)
Overall length is: 5.87"
Handle Length is: 3.75"
Blade Steel: CPM CV20
Scales: G10
Weight: 3.6 oz
Shark Lock locking system

I only shot one size comparison photo so far...here is the Nano with a Demko Armiger 4 (The blade is 4" long for reference!)

Cool looking knife that kind of reminds me of the Spyderco Techno 2. The Demko is a little bit longer in the handle, and G-10 instead of Ti. Blade is thicker as well. These are all good things imo.

I’ve wanted to try a Demko for a while now but just couldn’t settle on a model. This one is just different enough that I think it should be added to the collection!
 
I almost bought one, but I feel the Sharklock works better with a heavier blade. The AD20 flies open fast. The 20.5 not as fast. I feel like this Cub would take a lot more wrist action.

It does take maybe a little more wrist to get the blade moving but the Nano blade is thicker than a Cub so the extra weight certainly helps things along! It's still fairly snappy for a short blade! The blade thickness is the same as an AD20S Slim!
 
Anyone sharpen theirs yet? I bent my tip after deflecting off of a metal pole while cutting a strap, so I had to reprofile it using the KME sharpening system. Because the stock is thicker at the tip and choil, it isn't sharpening evenly if I keep the angle at a constant 20 degrees. Any ideas?

move to freehand sharpening to adjust for those differences......
