FAQs
How do I know if you ship to me?
We ship anywhere in the USA and to APOs. Currently we do not offer International shipping. For more information, visit our Shipping and Returns Policy.
Of the variety of blade steel types you carry, which would you personally recommend?
Something important to remember about recommendations is that they may not be right for you without knowing your needs in advance. Every type of metal we currently carry has specific properties that make it right for some individuals but not for others. That’s how personal knife ownership is—one blade does not fit all! Architect Knives offers high-level customization and high-tier craftsmanship that honors your individual needs.
I need new handle scales for my knife. Will you do that for me?
We get asked this a lot at Architect Knives and, while we’d love to oblige, we are not equipped to take custom handle requests. Knife handles are not universal, and ours are designed to fit our blades. From choosing the metal and handle materials to picking an EDC knife sheath, we’re dedicated to offering a unique way to build a personal 360-degree blade. You can buy additional scales to fit the custom knife you get from us, but we can’t confirm if our scales will fit a blade you purchased elsewhere.
Why is customization such an important feature of Architect Knives?
Since the Stone Age, human beings have enjoyed a relationship with the knife – a tool used for so many purposes. For thousands of years, this key tool has helped humans take down prey needed for food, build shelter, and even create beauty. Today, Architect Knives continues in this human tradition, knowing that one blade does not fit all. As the core of our mission, we bring you superior customization that lets you build your knife, your way for exactly the purpose you envision.
What forms of payment do you accept?
As an additional service to our customers, Architect Knives makes it as easy as possible for you to pay us! So, we accept VISA, MasterCard Discover, AMEX, PayPal, Sezzle, Cashier’s Checks, Money Orders, and even Personal Checks. In our world, trust is a two-way street.
What if the answer to my question isn’t here?
We know it’s not possible to predict every question you may have. At Architect Knives, we have learned more from our valued customers than from any other information source. Knife designer Dale Stoops always said that we are partners with you in this company. So, whether you’ve got a question about our products or an idea about how we can serve you better, we’d love to hear from you. Feel free to contact us directly.
