I got this for a hard use edc knife. The 3v steel is tuff and the coating will help against rust. Arkitect are a good company to deal with and it was a good experience.
The comparison photo is with a Bradford Gardian 4 in 3v and a WhiteRiver M1 caper in magnacut.

I am very impressed with this knife. It is very comfortable in the hand, scales will fit a variety of hand sizes. Fit and finish are very high quality. Extremely sharp and the edge bevel is very even. Sheath is attractive and fits the knife well. This knife is a good value.

The AK 4.5, especially in CPM 3V, is fantastic. I prefer it to the numerous similar knives I have in this class. Design is just right as a general purpose knife, workmanship is awesome, just like my AK 3.5 and 5.5, and CPM-3V is just great steel. I prefer the AK 4.5 to my Esse 4 and 4HM, Becker BK series, and others, and it is a toss up with my more expensive LT Wright Genesis and GNS knives. Y
ou can not go wrong with an Architect Knives product. I am thoroughly impressed. Coming from an OCD individual with 166 knives in the collection, I view my 3 Architect Knives as being definitely in my top 10 favorites. Keep up the great work! I want more.

The blade was very nice when I saw it online, but its beautiful in person. The carbon fiber style sheath is very sleek and low profile. I’m stationed in Germany and shipping was super fast. I’m relatively new to the knife culture, so for that past year or two, I’ve been looking for a blade that fits me and fits what I’m going to use it for. The 4.5 inch blade is the perfect size for the local laws where I live. I’ve seen a lot about architect knives on the internet and never heard a bad thing. This is my first AK, and definitely won’t be my last. Thanks guys!
