Titanium Scales for Demko AD20.5 - Straight Handle

You NEED these scales if you have the original G10 scales!

I'd never had a Demko, so decided to try out the entry level model. Clearly, I wasn't expecting a high-end knife at this price point. That said, I was a bit disappointed when it arrived. The action and blade quality were totally acceptable and I immediately liked the Shark Lock, but the original Grivory scales/SS liners combo gave the knife a cheap feel. Sharp edges, really flat and flimsy feeling, plus a "tacked on" quality with the scales sort of floating/warping away from the liners. I have big hands and usually prefer knife handles closer to the 5" range, so the finger grooves also forced a tighter and less comfortable grip for me. I was aware of Rockscale's reputation for quality, and when I saw their Straight Handle and TI backspacer options, I knew I had to give them a try. The knife is really transformed. It's still light weight, but feels MUCH more substantial. With the rounded edges, sand blast finish and straight front edge, it is much more grippy and fills my hand significantly better. Additionally, the orignal flimsy low-quality feel is completely gone. The action is the same or better and the sound of the rigid unlined scales has a solid "clack" without the plasticky reverberations. I'll state again, this upgrade totally transformed the knife. If you received your AD20.5 and were also a bit disappointed, DO NOT HESITATE to purchase the scales and backpacker combo. Finally, shipping was quick, everything was packaged very well, fit was truly perfect and installation was very simple. Thank you, Rockscale! You have a happy new customer!
