I have one of the OG MGAD20 Drop points 3V blade and Textured Ti. And the new AD20i in blk. G10. Both amazing knives. The G10 is actually lighter and a better edc.
Hello. I would like to ask you a question: I used to have the AD 10, and its liners were made of aluminum. In the AD 20.5 and yours, the liners are made of steel, but I don't know what type of steel. Do you think it's necessary to apply any oil to this part? I'm not referring to the part of the liners that face the scales, as those are protected, but to the part facing the blade
Yeah the business decisions of the demko brothers are weird. The fact that they rename it as20i is weird. They should just say it in the description if its made in italy when they sell it but not rename the knife because of that. Otherwise people see the i as a downgrade even if its no difference.
Many people highly value things being made in America, so it could be considered a downgrade just for that. I can't say about the heat treat on this one, but Italy is known for being inconsistent with their heat treats. Personally, it makes no difference to me. I'm just glad to have a full thickness ad20 and it's great that they seem to be trying to make them more available.

I just bought one today so im really excited to get one too!
Congrats! It's awesome
Glad you managed to snag one! It's really unfortunate that drop point is an NC Blade exclusive and who knows if they'd ever order another batch.

Are those Titanium handles on the clones compatible with your AD20i?
Unfortunately no, they use different size screws. That would be nice though.
Was this one of the Italian or Taiwan ground blades?
Italy blade. I believe the Taiwan ones are knife center exclusive.
@@alecreview I wouldn't mind either but the knife center says Italian ground.

It's made in the USA. The blades are sourced from Italy. It's as good as the all in-house model.
