Demko Knives Shark Cub Stealth Shark Lock Clip Point 2.75 Inch CPM 20CV Black DLC Gray Anodized Aluminum Handle SC STEALTH 20CVDLC GREY DEM19230 UPC 850056192309
Product Description
The Demko Knives® Shark Cub Stealth Clip Point in Grey Aluminum (SKU: SC-STEALTH-20CVDLC-GREY / DEM19230 / UPC: 850056192309) condenses Andrew Demko's world-renowned tactical engineering into an ultra-streamlined everyday carry folder. Built around the patented, ambidextrous Shark-Lock® system, this compact folder delivers the immense mechanical locking strength and effortless one-handed deployment of Demko's full-size hard-use blades in an ultralight profile tailored for pocket carry.
The cutting edge is driven by a 2.75-inch clip point blade crafted from Crucible CPM-20CV particle metallurgy stainless steel heat-treated to an optimal 59–61 HRC. Loaded with dense vanadium carbides, CPM-20CV offers exceptional edge longevity and extreme resistance to atmospheric oxidation, harsh fluids, and abrasive wear. The blade features a high-performance full-flat grind and is treated with a non-reflective black Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) coating, providing slick slicing passes and a rugged barrier against surface scratching.
The handle is CNC-machined from 6061-T6 aluminum finished in a covert matte stealth grey hard-coat anodize, reinforced by nested, weight-relieved stainless steel liners. Its contoured silhouette incorporates chamfered perimeters, an index finger guard, and fine jimping along the Shark-Lock fin to give the user positive traction in wet or cold environments. Paired with a reversible deep-carry clip and caged ball bearing pivot, the Shark Cub Stealth provides seamless ambidextrous carry and instant mechanical deployment.
*Bladesmith Bench Notes & Field Maintenance Guidance:*
Deployment, Carry & Metallurgy Advisory: Operates via the patented ambidextrous Shark-Lock spine mechanism, caged ball bearings, Crucible CPM-20CV stainless steel, and a reversible tip-up deep-carry clip. Crucible CPM-20CV exhibits superior wear resistance; re-profiling or honing requires monocrystalline diamond or CBN abrasives calibrated between 18 and 20 degrees per side. Do not flood the internal lock track or bearing assembly with heavy grease, as this collects pocket debris. Utilize precision T6 and T8 Torx bits to avoid stripping screw heads during clip adjustments.
- 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 travel, check tang engagement surfaces, and remove transit packing oil with a clean microfiber cloth.
- Configure the reversible deep-carry pocket clip to your desired orientation (left or right hand tip-up) using a T6 Torx driver, securing threads with medium-strength blue threadlocker.
- Apply 1-2 drops of low-viscosity synthetic pivot oil directly to the caged bearings and cycle the blade to ensure smooth, hydraulic manual deployment.
- Inspect lockup under forward pressure to ensure zero vertical or horizontal blade play, confirm centered blade alignment when closed, and verify crisp spring disengagement prior to daily carry.
