The Architect Knives AK 3.5 and AK 4.5 handle is an all new design by Dale Stoops, designer of the LT Wright Forest Trail among other knives, that puts focus on comfort and practicality. It fits hand sizes up to an XL glove size to perfection, and fills the hand securely. It is large enough to achieve a firm grip, yet is not any larger than necessary. This handle features a hidden lanyard cutout at the back, giving your AK 3.5 or 4.5 knife a clean uncluttered look. The AK 3.5/4.5 handle kit is available in 25+ colors, and in G10 or Micarta material. G10 is impervious to moisture and is usually preferred for easy cleanup or for those who want the most dense handle material and don’t mind the additional weight. Micarta is also extremely durable, lighter than G10, and excels in grippy-ness when wet. Micarta offers an organic fibrous feel in the hand which many appreciate.
All Architect handles are professionally CNC machined from quality raw material. Our handles are designed to provide a solid, comfortable grip for extended use anywhere, anytime. The light textured finish provides excellent grip in slippery use situations, and cleans up easily.
Installation is easy, and with little practice you can install your AK 3.5/4.5 handle scales in as little as 60 seconds. Instructions and mounting hardware are included.
Due to material batch variations, the color, textures, and layering may vary slightly from what is pictured.

These scales are so beautiful…the best AK or TKC makes hands down. You gotta hold them to appreciate them.

I was expecting to need to do some fitting for the contour to be perfect to my knife’s tang, not a single pass of sandpaper was needed. Lines are a perfect match. The texture is grippy without being abrasive to bare hands. I also love the color pattern, gives a “natural” look more than “camouflage” but I like that.

Great structure and very grippy. I prefer Micarta to G10

The palm swell and contouring of the Micarta scales gives a much more confident experience and look amazing.
