Titanium Scales for Demko AD20.5 - Straight Handle

These scales make an already awesome knife a damn near perfect knife.

The knocked down frame near the shark lock make the knife much more fidgety and easy to flick around for extended periods of time without wearing out your fingertips as quickly. The titanium is the perfect level of smooth and course to be riding around in the pocket every day. You don't want titanium scales that are too smoothed out or the knife is just slippery - these are perfect.

These AD20.5 scales combined with some skiff bearings, and you've got yourself a dream of a knife. Do yourself a favor and get some Rockscale Design scales for your knife.

I opted for the flat, more streamlined scales without the finger grooves, it really gives the AD20.5 a more refined look.

They shipped crazy fast, too! Great experience all around.

I bought the scale for my AD20.5 and I only have praise for the product and the seller. Initially, I was hesitant to buy, as I do not live in the United States, and the exchange rate between the dollar and my country’s currency made the product extremely expensive, not to mention the import fees involved (the high cost is due to local taxes in the country I live in). Despite this, I received full support from the seller, who was always very attentive and responsive to my emails, often replying within just a few minutes. When the product arrived, I encountered a tolerance issue, which anyone with some mechanical knowledge knows can happen. I’m not sure if the pivot of my pocket knife was slightly larger or if the scale had a slightly smaller diameter.

As a consumer, I understand that this type of issue can happen, so I contacted the owner (I believe), showed him the tolerance issue with the scale (perhaps the pocket knife pivot was out of standard diameter), and he promptly said he would send me another as soon as possible. Products can have size variations, especially custom-made ones, so what matters most in these situations is after-sales service, and the after-sales support from Rockscale Design is excellent. I noticed that other companies making custom scales receive many complaints about their after-sales service, which is concerning.

Regarding the scale itself, the second one sent fit perfectly. Besides the aesthetic improvement, I think the Shark Lock mechanism now operates more smoothly, and even the sound has better "quality" when opening and closing the pocket knife. It is worth noting that the website states that the scale does not fit AD20.5 models in carbon fiber, but this does not apply to all versions of the carbon fiber ones. I think this should be clarified on the website, as it could lead to lost sales. If you have the carbon fiber version, ask him if it fits your pocket knife.

Nice Ti scales and I will be buying more.

The build turned out beautiful

I was a little worried about the operation of the shark lock being smooth after ready a few other reviewers saying they were unhappy. Not sure what they were talking about because mine is actually more smooth than it was with the grivory g10 scales. Just apply a SMALL amount of knife butter or kpl or your favorite lubricant to both sides of the lock where it makes
Contact with the scales and enjoy!!! Absolutely fantastic scales! And they have a slight “grip” to them they’re not fully smoothed.
