A new edge for a custom Demko

  • User custom Andrew Demko in CPM-M4 high speed steel from a Dutch forum member


    Before sharpening:





    After sharpening.
    Reprofiled from +/- 30 degrees inclusive to 25 degrees inclusive on a standard Paper Wheel with 220 grit SiC, then refined with a second Paper Wheel coated with 15 micron diamond compound, and finally deburred with a third Paper Wheel coated with 1 micron diamond compound (experimental)
    The new edge survives a few forceful test cuts into my laminated test block without any visible damage (seen through a loupe), after which it effortlessly treetops the hairs on the back of my hand and slices single-ply toilet paper.






    Specs:


    Length open: 8.7 inch (22,2 cm)
    Length closed: 5.3 inch (13,4 cm)
    Blade length: 3.5 inch (8,9 cm)
    Blade thickness: 4,57 mm
    Steel: CPM-M4
    Lock type: Tri-Ad lock
    Handle material: Tan G-10 on titanium liners
    Weight: 214 grams

  • Really awesome knife. That's exact the knife i am trying to build at the moment. Triad Lock, 4,5mm blade thickness, just the blade ist a bit to short. But really awesome knife!


    What's the hole in the guard for? Safety lock with a bolt like the Extrema Ratio Rao has?

    Ist das Spiel vorbei, landen Bauer und König in der selben Kiste.

  • I don't think the holes in the guard are something like a safety lock the RAO uses, there are also no threads in them.
    The owner uses the knife just as it is, and with it's incredibly strong lock i also think there is no need for anything else.
    He was pleased with the new edge by the way :)
