- We had the chance to sit down with Andrew Demko and discuss the long awaited AD-10 and AD-15. We know you're as excited as we are to get one you're hands on one of these knives.

After 15 years of collecting pocket knives (dozens of Spyderco, Kershaw and Benchmade knives) Demko is the most exciting knife designer on the market today.
I feel you. I can still remember the day I saw Cold Steel debut Demko's Tri-ad lock and it blew my mind. I have always been a fan of the rocker/back lock and when I saw it taken to the next level I had to get one. Got the AK-47 Tri-ad, have gotten multiple other Tri-ad variants since then.

Really Demko should be given some kind of "All Time Greatest" award for knife design.
We've had the Back Lock for hundreds of years and Demko is the first person to significantly improve it.
I love Sal Glesser dearly but even after he spent decades refining the Back Lock, he still couldn't come up with anything remotely as good as the Tri-Ad lock.
At this point the only way I can think of one-upping the Tri-Ad Lock would be a fully 3D Printed design (as soon as you move to 3D printed locks you can probably make a folder fully equivalent to a fixed blade).
Yeah I agree. Demko and Marfione are my favorites.
Andrew Demko is just a regular dude that designs awesome stuff! Humble. I'm probably gonna get both knives!

Andrew Demko is a genius. Thank you to Cold Steel for bringing his knives within reach of the average consumer. The AD10 is superior to other folders that are twice the price. Trust me, I own and have owned many expensive folders.
I'm deeply in love with everything Cold Steel makes. Affordable and crazy awesome quality. The Vaquero Grande is my EDC and has been for 20 plus years. Lynn has a great vision and is executing it incredibly.
Demko has an engineers mind.
With a peoples heart ❤ 🤙🏽 🅰️D🔟 🔥
Ever since the 4max came out I also wished there was an ad10 model and now my dream came true. Thank you demko and cold steel.
The absolute apex of locking mechanisms - nothing comes close.
All in on these two! Thank you cold steel
Thanks for making these available at a lower price point. I took my ad-10 down to parts and completely finished every part up to perfection by hand. Loved that I had the chance to give it a try.
These are going to be great I can't wait to get my hands on both of these great design which I am confident ColdSteel has done a fantastic Job building
I cannot wait to get mine... I must give Cold Steel and Andrew Demko two thumbs up! Cold Steel will be putting something out, this year, that I'm really interested in. I know you'll put out some great vids on these; I've seen you AD10, AD15, and 4-Max videos. Can't wait to get my hands on these...
When life gets real you need Cold Steel.
I like that😁👍⚔️
Robert Adams You should be working for Cold Steel’s marketing team.
@@kezzatube45 Yeah, that's what I'm talking about!
Kez:
Umm... okay?
For the times when those water buffaloes come out of nowhere...
I’ve wanted both for a long time. Thank u very much Andrew and Cold Steel for putting these two great knives within my reach. I’ll absolutely buy. I just have to have them.
Appreciate what you do, hope to own this or one of your knives one day. Thank you for making the decision to make this knife not only accessible but also made in a country that generally inclines towards better quality and freedom vs the one that doesn't ;)
I have been a Cold Steel fan boy for years now. Im up to 7 CS knives. Lynn but espaically Andrew have been my favorite knife guys I preach your Triad lock and trust my life to it. I am proud to say I just ordered the Demko AD-10 for my 8th CS folder. I cant wait to crown my collection with your custom design AD10! ✌
That was great. Thank you for the video. I just got my first AD10 and I am loving it. I need to get me one of those AD15.
Awesome Guy, awesome knives
I've got mine on order... I decided to get all of your production customs; I ordered the Italian 4-Max, AD10, and AD15. I just had to get them. Thanks, Mr. Demko, for making some of your great knives available for us Fans of yours that cannot afford your Custom Made Folders. I've been wanting an AD10, forever. I love my American Lawmen. But, have always wanted an AD10. Mine won't be a Collector; I'll EDC to work every day... Also, when I get them, I'll post vids on them. Thanks, again, Brother!
Awesome stuff. 2 of the best folders CS has done IMO
Andrew Demko, you are the best man!!! Thinking to create for the future an AD 15 larger (bigger). The bigger the better!!!
Just got my AD-10. Man, what a quality, what a design...
Every Cold steel product I've bought is top quality!! Now these are really top drawer!! Thanks much for sharing and blessings 😇 🇺🇸
I'm an mechanism nut also and it's why I love Andrew's designs,knowing his locks are the strongest in the industry and I say this with confidence. So many times I've looked at a custom knife and said wow this look s awesome but has a frame lock which is a bummer because high priced custom folders which some makers call them "overbuilt" should have an Overbuilt lock also. Frame/liner locks by nature just can't utilize the full potential of the given materials,the stress relief cutout on the lock bar is the weak point and lock face will ultimately slip under shock,stress. Lockbacks in general are essentially a hook wether be it tradition,triad,scorpion,or others all work on this principle and hooks are stronger then a piece of material wedged at the blade tang. Love cold steel/Demko designed locks,before buying the knife I always look at it's lock mechanism first just too bad most are Frame locks. More innovation on strong locks,as strong as the triad and scorpion in the knife community would bring alot more excitement! Also give Sir Demko some challenge I'm pretty sure he wouldn't mind lol
I'm late to the game. I discovered Cold Steel knives around 3 years ago. And now, 20 Cold Steel (and counting) folders later, I don't leave my home without a Cold Steel tri-ad locking folder in my pocket, "ever"!!! That lock, changed "my" knife world...❤!!!
Demko and cold steel are up there for #1. Ill buy the both. Twice! Keep them PERMANENT models. And hollow ground option with 3v maybe?
Hard to replace my recon 1 but I wouldn’t mind an ad10. Beautiful looking knife
I love cold steel products they’re always high quality and delendable
Delendable?
Did you mean defendable? Or dependable?
@@edcko10 dependable 😂 sorry I got giant hammer thumbs
The AD15 is one of the coolest knife ever👍👏
Phenomenal work.
These finally made it to production! Such a dream come true. I have a custom AD15 full Ti,I hope cold steel would consider making a full aluminum version with secondary safety I'd pay a little more for that version. 🤞🤞🙏
Hallo to the Community, today is my Birthday and one of the finest Gifts i became is an AD-15 . THANKS to my family but also Thank You to Andrew and the whole Cold Steel Team it's Great✊🍀✊🍀✊🍀✊🍀✊🍀✊🍀🌹
Wow, those look great!
I always want an AD-10.
Okay but I'm sitting here sipping a beverage. I've watched hours of your vids right. THAN BAM. I REALISE YOU ARE ANDREW DEMKO. HOW DID I MISS THIS... MY MIND... BLOWN. Thankyou and goodnight, Cheers
Demko and his work has turned me into Cold Steel. Just ordered an Ad15 and I am pumped!
Andrew Demko is a genius of knife making. Ultimate knives. Actually, tri-ad lock is enough... :)
Beyond excited about this hands down my favorite folder maker in the industry and lets be honest the tri-ad lock is the bee's knee's
I am very excited about these new blades!!
Hi Andrew, you are quite right about it being addictive. I watched how you closed it and that is the way to do it. Once I did that, I was set. It is a fascinating design and a very good one. It looked overly complex initially but it is really an elegant and simple design. I love the two tone finish on the blade and the knife came hair shaving sharp which is excellent. It is nice knowing I have a knife in my pocket that I am not afraid to use on any job. It is obviously a very tough knife and it it exudes toughness from every angle and yet it is so BEAUTIFUL. A bit like my Chug Ringo, very pugly yet strangely handsome also.
Really nice big knife!!!
Hell yeah i’ve always wanted a custom but I’ll definitely get the ad15 till then
these look great! nice work
Absolutely beautiful. The AD 10 is going to be hard for me to pass up.
These are my top 2 knives of 2019, and I don’t even have them yet.
Love andrew’s scorpion lock it’s very unique and strong at the same time unbelievable design
This is awesome!
I'm so proud to have my AD-15 Lite in my pocket. The upcoming AD-10 Lite will be so tempting.
These are awesome !!!
Cool dude, impressive knives. I will get that AD15.
I'll definitely be getting both models.
Yea im buyin
How can u not love this guy?
Those look great!!!!
The AD10 is one of the less expensive knives in my collection, and is the most nicely made. Wish they still made the hollow grind.
I am glad Cold Steel is getting the chance to do the AD-15 and I can't wait until they come out with more of them in more handle colors.
If a knife you must conceal I recommend Cold Steel.
This look fantastic
I got a cold steel ad15 recently and can say the quality is amazing when compared to other knives that cost double or triple the price.
Lord Demko is the man!
Such a solid dude just like his locks.
If I had any doubt, Andrew Demko sold me on the AD10. It's a worthy upgrade and replacement to my classic Buck 112. I kept looking for a folder with the looks, ergonomics, and soul heartedness necessary to replace it.
The triad lock has served me well for over 15 years. Got my AD15 8 months ago and I love it. Thank you Mr demco. now please collaborate with GSM or cold steel, whatever it is now, and make an AD 20 that I can afford. I'm an ironworker and a welder. Just an average southern Man but I love your robust knife designs, they can stand up to the abuse and hard work a petty frame lock or standard lock back can't handle. The only lock that can try to compete with the triad or scorpion is the axis lock. But I love Cold steel and I love the knives you've designed Mr demco. It's an American thing, thank you 🇺🇸
Unless Demko changed his mind,a Cold Steel AD20 isn’t happening
The Axis lock is a cool lock,it’s a fun lock but it’s far from a Tri-Ad or Scorpion lock..Spyderco’s compression lock is better than the axis lock..Hogue’s Able lock (Hogue’s version of the Axis lock) is better than the Axis lock because they use a higher quality spring than Benchmade uses in their Axis lock.Benchmade used to use higher quality springs too but in recent years the Axis lock isn’t nearly as durable as it was in older model Benchmade knives
Words fail me. He is a genius.
Those will be on my list.
love that yoke
can't wait for the test videos
Mr. Demko is a genius inventor.
Omg can't wait
I cannot wait.
That's right, Bro! I've got mine on order. I saw your video and had to research them and get both of them. I'll have to post vids on them. Now, I can afford them. I decided to get the Italian 4-Max, too... The AD10 is the one I want the most. In my opinion, it's the one that influenced the American Lawman; it's an AD10 on the Jenny Craig Diet Plan... :) :) :) Mine will be a daily EDC folder, for me. I know, eventually, I'll get another to just add to my Collection. I can't wait to get them; I feel like a little kid at Christmas! Right on Andrew! What a perfect gift for the "Working Class" Man or Woman that loves your Blades...
AD is amongst the legends
Now I got a knife I'm definitely buying in `19. When's the full CS `19 catalog gonna release?
Some REAL knives!
A couple more paychecks and the AD-15 is mine!! I have a lot of decent to good folders, but I want my edc to be great! From reviews and product info, the AD-15 should make the cut (pun most definitely intended!).
This is it chief
Браво твои работы восхитительный!!!
Scorpion lock is friggin’ genius. But the AD-10…. Killer knife. For so long I looked at it and thought, « it’s just a back lock, what’s the big deal? « Then I SAW it. And bought it. Fantastic.
On the AD-10 what kind of aluminum are the liners and the spacer? I am wanting to anodize them. Thank
I like the AD 10.
Just bought a 4max as my first cold steel.
Need some numbers on the aluminum liners for strength test?!
I have Swift - it is a wunderfull knive!!!!!!!!!!!! Good Luck Andrey !!!!!!!!! I want AD-15 :)))
Wow!
Is it possible close the blade on the AD15 without pushing this lockbar/spacer?
I know about the Tiger Claw and Steel Tiger. They are great karambits but they are both way to big. My only wish from Cold Steel is that they make a smaller more compact folding karambit with the Triad Locking System.
have you changed the grind on the AD-10 knife? Are the AD-10 now available with flat or hollow grind? Thank you!
There is a problem with my AD-15, a spinel flies on the beam, why did this happen, and what should I do with these?
I have the AD10 great knife, I also have the Max4 and Max4 Scout, many many of us would love to see a Max5 with the same design. Maybe call it the Max5 Ranger, it would be a huge seller in S35VN and AUS 10A.
Finaly!
I am a little concerned about the use of aluminum as the liners of this knife instead of steel or Ti. I understand it was to lower the cost and weight of the knife by choosing it, but was there thought about long term durability. Would open the blade with authority cause the stop pin/pivot to wallow or deform over time?
I own both and I must say that the ad10 is superior in every way.
Can't wait to see that hunting sword!
I hope one day I can find and snag a custom micarta AD10! GRAIL for me!
CS AD-10 inbound!
You can kill tonight's meal if your weilding Cold Steel.
When will they be available?
And now the SHARK!!
Such a humble dude and a total class act, and why is he always smirking like that? Because he's a blue colar man who designed the BEST....BEST locking mechanism this industry has seen to date. There are a lot of great locks out there that excel in their own way but when it comes to not getting your fingers cut off everybody wether they like it or not knows you can trust a cold steel tri ad lock designed by the man himself Andrew Demko. Oh and for anyone who thinks all he did was add a beefy stop pin to a back lock to make the tri ad lock ..Demko drops the scorpion lock... just awsome.
Triad is 👑
Remember 4max held 808lbs and didn't break.
I love my Cold Steel Ultimate Hunter. It's my EDC. I will skip the AD10 & -15. Instead, I will get the Recon 1 S35VN Satin finish. Either way, Cold Steel has me covered⚔️
Hope the Cold Steel AD15 and AD10 are made in the USA. The Cold Steel 4 Max are made in Italy and USA. Tan G10 are USA made and the gray G10 is made in Italy.
Well the steel is USA made regardless. CPM S35VN is from Crucible in New York. I wish they had gone with a different steel, but whatever.
Any idea when there will be a Cold Steel version of the AD-20?
Unfortunately,there isn’t gonna be a Cold Steel AD20
С моим АД-15 проблема, вылетает шпинёк на коромысле, почему это случилось, и что с эти делать?
I hope soon Mr. Demko will be able to contract a shark with s35vn or REX!!
