Demko Knives Shark Cub Stealth Shark Lock Clip Point 2.75 Inch CPM 20CV Black DLC Black Anodized Aluminum Handle SC STEALTH 20CVDLC BLACK CP DEM19275 UPC 850056192750
Product Description
The Demko Knives® Shark Cub Stealth Clip Point (SKU: SC-STEALTH-20CVDLC-BLACK-CP / DEM19275 / UPC: 850056192750) represents the evolution of Andrew Demko's acclaimed hard-use folding architectures scaled down into an ultralight, pocket-friendly everyday carry form factor. Engineered around the battle-tested, patented Shark-Lock® mechanism, this stealth-profile folder provides complete ambidextrous lock manipulation, effortless one-handed opening and closing, and mechanical lockup strength that dramatically outperforms conventional liner, frame, and crossbar systems.
At the center of this compact workhorse is a 2.75-inch clip point blade precision ground from premium Crucible CPM-20CV particle metallurgy stainless steel heat-treated to 59–61 HRC. Rich in chromium and vanadium micro-carbides, CPM-20CV offers professional-tier edge retention and superior resistance to corrosion, pitting, and abrasive dulling. The blade is finished in a high-durability black Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) coating that shields the substrate against harsh environmental elements while reducing surface friction across heavy cardboard, fibrous cordage, and utility cutting tasks.
The chassis is constructed from lightweight, rigid 6061-T6 aluminum finished in deep matte black hard-coat anodizing, supported internally by skeletonized stainless steel liners. The ergonomic handle profile features contoured chamfering, secure forward finger grooves, and an integrated thumb ramp on the Shark-Lock fin for slip-free control under intense cutting pressure. Equipped with a reversible deep-carry pocket clip and an ultra-smooth caged ball bearing pivot, the Shark Cub Stealth disappears entirely into the pocket while remaining immediately accessible for tactical and utility duty.
*Bladesmith Bench Notes & Field Maintenance Guidance:*
Deployment, Carry & Metallurgy Advisory: Features an ambidextrous Shark-Lock spine mechanism, caged ball bearings, Crucible CPM-20CV stainless steel, and tip-up deep-carry orientation. Crucible CPM-20CV holds a razor edge remarkably well but resists standard aluminum oxide stones; maintain your cutting edge using monocrystalline diamond or CBN hones set between 18 and 20 degrees per side. Do not flood the internal lock track or bearing cage with heavy grease. Use dedicated micro-Torx T6 and T8 drivers to avoid stripping clip and scale fasteners.
- Verify the blade path and work area are completely clear of obstructions, keeping fingers clear of the blade track and locking bar path during initial inspection.
- Cycle the Shark-Lock mechanism manually to verify full spring extension, inspect the tang engagement face, and wipe down factory transit oil using a lint-free microfiber cloth.
- Configure the reversible deep-carry pocket clip for your preferred carry orientation (left or right hand tip-up) using a precision T6 Torx driver, securing threads with medium-strength blue threadlocker.
- Apply 1-2 drops of light synthetic pivot lubricant directly to the pivot bearing raceway and cycle the action several times to establish friction-free travel.
- Confirm solid lockup under forward pressure with zero vertical or horizontal blade play, check blade centering in the closed position, and verify smooth disengagement before everyday carry deployment.
