What’s in a Name? Introducing the “I” in AD20I Slim
The "I" in the AD20I Slim stands for International, signifying the collaborative effort across continents that makes this model truly unique. The "I" is more than just a designation—it represents our pursuit of global excellence and our strong commitment to the idea that exceptional quality transcends geographical and political borders.
Introducing the AD20I Slim (AD20IS)
The AD20I Slim takes everything great about the AD20I and redefines it into a streamlined design without sacrificing strength, integrity, or versatility. The result is a lighter, slimmer profile which makes it perfect for those who want a rugged performance-first knife with a refined and sleek aesthetic.
Why Maniago, Italy?
We chose Maniago, Italy, as the home for crafting our blades because it’s known for a centuries-old tradition of knife-making. Nestled in the foothills of the Italian Alps, Maniago has been synonymous with master knife-makers since the 15th century. The region’s blend of artisanal skill and cutting-edge precision are unmatched, making it the perfect place to laser-cut and CNC mill the AD20I Slim full flat grind (FFG) blades.
Each AD20IS is then hand-sharpened and hand-assembled at the Demko Custom Shop in New Castle, PA, under the guidance of Andrew Demko and John Demko. Every knife celebrates the artisanship, integrity and precision that creates the keystone of Demko manufacturing.
