The Cold Steel AD10 is a production version of Andrew Demko’s famous custom knife and from what custom Demko owners are saying, it’s very close to the original.

The Cold Steel AD10 sports a 3.5” S35vn steel hollow ground blade with contoured G10 handles and lightweight aluminum liners. But this thing is way more than the sum of its parts.

This knife is confidence in hand… a heavy duty folder seemingly capable of the most demanding work you could ask of a folding knife. Shockingly for a hard use folder these days, this knife is very thinly ground and quite slicey.

I love this knife and look forward to getting its cousin, the AD15, in hand.
