Another great no BS review. Thanks!

[@5MinuteKnives]

@@catshark12 Thanks for watching!

[@CaseySackett]

Great knife and sheath!!!

[@WhispyWoods.]

Great sheath! Carbon fiber is the best and the colors are nice. I love everything about that knife. Full tang. Exposed and useable pommel. A high saber grind with a drop point or spear point is my perfect set up. The stonewash looks really nice. I don’t like finger choils. I keep watching for Architect restocks because I’d like some 1095 by TOPS as well as my first magnacut knife.

[@5MinuteKnives]

@@WhispyWoods. same. I was actually considering the 8” model…

[@WhispyWoods.]

@@5MinuteKnives do it! You deserve a new knife.

[@saintelmo7309]

its an amazing looking knife with a sheath that complements it

[@5MinuteKnives]

@@saintelmo7309 🍻

[@motaman8074]

No ass kissing, that sheath is fantastic!

[@5MinuteKnives]

@@motaman8074 I appreciate that man! Those handle scales really work well with kydex. Makes for a really satisfying retention “detent”.

[@moikee1971]

I bought the AK 3 5 and then the 4.5 Blackout. I loved both and decided to get the 5.5. The 5.5 is my favorite or of the three. I like it so much I placed an order for a second 5.5. Love the channel!

[@5MinuteKnives]

Thanks for the comment and I’m looking at the 8 currently. Which do you think would serve me better? The architect 8 or the Becker bk9?

[@moikee1971]

@5MinuteKnives The biggest knife i have is the Esee 6 so I don't have any experience with anything larger. I am very interested in buying one of your sheaths for the 5.5. So. If you have someone that sends one in for an order and want to make an extra one i would love to buy one.

[@moikee1971]

@5MinuteKnives So i ended up checking out the AK8. It will be here Thursday.

[@5MinuteKnives]

@ I'll try to remember you for the 5.5 sheath. In the future, you could always buy your knives through me to save you on shipping. I'll make the sheath and send the whole thing to you. Let me know your thoughts on the 8! I'm seriously considering that one (in 1095)

[@PerceptionVsReality333]

I bought the Architect 5.5 with grey G-10 scales & grey kydex sheath.

[@5MinuteKnives]

Cool looking combo. 👍

[@supersaiyanbear5298]

There's a 3 now too.. Not 3.5, just 3. I've never handled it, but it looks awesome.

[@5MinuteKnives]

@@supersaiyanbear5298 good to know. Thanks!

[@travisworts6249]

They have a 3, 3.5, 4.5, 5.5, 6.5 and an 8. From what I have heard they are trying to keep stock for every knife in s35 magnacut 3v and 1095.

[@WhispyWoods.]

Joe! I rewatched this video for clues, but do you have your own AK 5.5 still to use as a model for a sheath or would the knife need to be sent in? Thanks!

[@5MinuteKnives]

Hey Wispy! Unfortunately, I no longer have that one in stock, so I would need yours for molding. Email me though and lemme know what you have in mind. 👍

[@WhispyWoods.]

@@5MinuteKnives if funds align I’ll be in touch when AK has the 5.5 in magnacut 👍

[@5MinuteKnives]

@@WhispyWoods. just pay shipping bud. I got you down for one sheath on the house. 👍

[@mauricioescobedo3354]

I have both the 5.5 and the 6 because of your channel lol! And Love them both and like always beautiful sheaths man. Also had a Esee 6 but my mom liked it so much she took ownership. lol!

[@5MinuteKnives]

@@mauricioescobedo3354 Happy to help you part with your money bud! 😂 your mom has good taste. I got a discount waiting on a future sheath order man. Just remind me in the email. 👍

[@landtechnik4k]

what knife is that what was your first choice? The carbon steel one

[@5MinuteKnives]

The Bradford 5.5?

[@macmccartney5760]

Master sheath maker, you should get into leather and do kydex with leather covers..

[@5MinuteKnives]

@@macmccartney5760 I was thinking about something like that down the road. I might start making leather danglers in spring. Appreciate the suggestion!

[@macmccartney5760]

@@5MinuteKnives yeah that's my favorite kind kydex with leather overlay at least for the outer side

[@calebs7567]

What do you personally like more this or the bradford 5.5? I feel like this is a little overbuilt because it’s such a wide blade, guess depends on the use tho…

[@5MinuteKnives]

@@calebs7567 I’m kind of leaving word the Bradford but this feels like such a tank it’s confidence inspiring. I think prying comes up in survival situations? You can’t go wrong with either but I like the Bradford more for me.

[@calebs7567]

@@5MinuteKnives I think I’d go for a bit better tater digging over more prying strength 🤔

[@5MinuteKnives]

@@calebs7567 same

[@seanbowie4511]

I like the architect 5.5. It’s a great knife in many ways. It’s overbuilt to the point of almost being too big. I end up using it for a camp knife. I suppose in a pure survival situation it would be ideal but in the real world it’s a bit bulky. Now you have me interested in the Bradford 5.5 since you say it lighter. Thanks for that lol. Keep up the good work!
