Been looking at Architect Knife builder for awhile now but when I saw a video review by a trusted reviewer I actually decided to make my purchase.
The entire process is extremely easy to do, essentially you just pick your knife size then start putting together your individual choices for steel, handle scales, sheath and any other options you want. A few clicks later and it’s done.
The hardest part of it all is waiting for your knife to be delivered.
It arrived about 6-7 days later in a plain unmarked box with each piece in individual plastic bags. No frills, not even any paperwork other than the invoice.
It took less than five minutes to put together with the included Allen wrenches. The blade itself was hair splitting sharp out of the box and the handle scales are nicely contoured and fill your hand comfortably without any hot spots. The included sheath has a short piece of paracord and an adjustable screw to tighten (or loosen) the blade in the sheath to your preference.
All in all I am quite pleased with this product and will be coming back for more in the future.

Have been looking at Architect for a while now. Finally bit the bullet and ordered the AK3 after seeing a video at GideonsTactical; whose opinion I value.
Arrived today after bouncing around USPS for a few days.
Plain cardboard box with no markings with the knife parts inside individual plastic bags and nothing else. Took about 1-2 minutes to put together with the included Allen wrench . The sheath has a bit of paracord on it and you can adjust the tension with the twist of a screw. There is also a generous thumb push off with some jimping for easy removal of the blade ( there are however some sharp edges where the handle meets the sheath that need to be smoothed out ).
It did arrive hair splitting sharp and overall it’s a keeper.

The ak3 in magnacut with g10 scales and kydex sheath is lightweight, comfortable in the hand, shaving sharp, and great for pocket carry. It’s a great little knife and a good deal!

This knife is about half – 2/3rds the cost of comparable knives that come with less. This knifes scary sharp – the kind of knife that cuts so well it demands your respect.
