Crafted from quality raw material, this professionally CNC machined handle kit fits the AK 5.5, AK 6.5, and AK 8. We originally designed this handle at The Knife Connection for use on ESEE 5/6 knives back around 2014, and it was a home run from day one. We have received countless positive reviews through the years for its incredible ergonomics. Our handles are designed to provide a solid, comfortable grip for extended use in the field. They feature a streamlined contoured profile so the knife fits more naturally and comfortably in your hand. The light textured finish provides excellent grip in slippery use situations, and cleans up easily. The blade’s lanyard hole sits just behind this handle, providing a secure location to attach your lanyard.
Installation is quick and easy. Instructions and mounting hardware are included. With little practice, you can easily install your AK 5.5, AK 6.5, or AK 8 handle scales in as little as 60 seconds.
Due to material batch variations, the color, textures, and layering may vary slightly from what is pictured.

Love the AK6.5 in Magnacut! Saved me $$$ instead of a TRC in Elmax.
The Ranger Green G10 is exactly what I wanted. No hot spots, fills the hand perfect, and will take what ever I can throw at it.
The red liners on the other hand. No so much. Darker then I would like. And now I see the Ranger Green with orange liners available…. perfect match to my orange sheath.
None the less. A amazing knife! Best bang for your buck, by far!!!
