I have the 6.5 in 3V and this 8 in 1095 and after a quick sharpening they both perform amazingly! Love them, oddly the 8 feels lighter in the hand then the 6.5 3V which I'm guessing has to do with the balance of them... For the money they're great just wish that they came already assembled is all
As soon as they launch the Magnicut 6.5, I'm buying. :) I already have the 6.5 in 3V, and it's simply amazing. Ethan Stoops and his team at TKC are amazing.
I got an AK 6.5 in 3V. Micarta scales and Kydex sheath with leather backer (I love the sheath options BTW). All of it is woodland camo. I put is down somewhere and I can't find the damn thing.
That looks great! I have the first run 5.5 from a couple years ago but I got it in 3v, at the price theyre selling these for its hard to beat especially in the 3v. Dan if youve never tried out 3v before I highly recommend it lol, its not hard to sharpen at all lol people just dont know what theyre doing 🤣. Thanks for showing!
Thank you! I have tried quite a few different steels, I believe 3v was one. But I just really like the 1095. It's been my faithful companion for a long time.
That's a real Beauty. I can't wait to see the sheath that you get for it. I hope it gets along with your other knives cuz you know how they can be when a new blade comes into the house. Jealousy. I think the angle of the handle to the blade is going to be a better Chopper than some of your other knives. And the skeletonized handle puts all the weight up front on the blade. That's the difference that I find between BK 9 and the Esee.
@@ochocobushcraft1742the 6.5 in 3V is probably the best affordable one tool option I own. It’s made it onto the “permanent list” of my 40-something fixed blade collection.
Thank You! The AK 8 does take there line up to the next level. Comparable to the Esee Junglas 2 in size. Watch for my field test this coming Wednesday.
hey my brotha , great vid n blade there , def. wanna talk more n where did you get that boonie at n would you have another to trade/swap/barter possibly ?, let me know n lookin for a tactical type black/.o.d. green belt in size 46 also , thanks bro > tom !
@@Steve-vx2xpWatch "Survival Instinct" "BK2 Beyond Abuse." He pounded on that skeletonized knife with a hammer for what looked like 1000 times before it broke. Skeletonizing it doesn't weaken it. The only time a skeletonized tang would matter is if you plan on inserting the blade into a tree and using the handle to support all your weight. And even then, it probably still wouldn't fail unless you're obese.
@@Steve-vx2xp I also prefer them not skeletonized. But I just don't think it weakens it, at least not substantially. And that's just my honest opinion. But to each his own. God bless.
BRAND NEW FOR 2024, THIS PROMISES TO BE AN AMAZING SURVIVAL AND BUSHCRAFT KNIFE!!!
Awesome. I just picked up the 6.5 in com3v and it’s fantastic. I’ve done a few videos on it. Love the knife and the knife connection
Nice! I'll check out your videos

I really like working with them! Hope you are able to get your knife soon!
Just ordered mine (AK8) tonight!
Nice!
Nice i just ordered the ak3 magnacut but this ak8 will be next 👍🇺🇸💪
Nice! I think you will really like it!
I’ve got a 5.5 on the way, orange g10 handles and orange kydex. Pretty excited about it. If I like it I’ll order one of them 8’s.
Sounds nice! I just finished the video battle between it, the Bk9, and Junglas 2. Hope to post it Saturday morning.
👍🏻 Looking forward to the next video on this.
Coming soon!

Awesome overview. I’d like to order a 5.5 and now I know exactly what to expect!
Is it hollow ground?
High Sabre grind. I've got my field test video made ( In a foot of fresh snow) ready for this Wednesday. I think you'll enjoy seeing it in action!
@@ochocobushcraft1742 thank you! I wasn’t sure if the part of the blade below the flat was hollow or flat to the edge. Thanks!

Good Morning ! MAN, that's a great lookun blade. TAKE CARE..

Encourage tkc to make larger chopper already have two 5.5 and 6.5's Love your knife videos

@@ochocobushcraft1742 I love their concept and the knives are beautiful Appreciate your coverage
Здравствуйте. Быстрее бы тест. Будьте здоровы.
They need 10-12 inch blades
is it very similar to the tahoma field knife?
The 1095 blade is made by TOPS. I like the feel better of the AK, plus you customize it the way you want. Check out the Architect Knives website.

Just type in boonies hat in woodland camo on Amazon.
So, can you order that knife with a heavier weight? Seems like they are shorting you by giving you less steel.
No, 11 2 ounces is the weight. At least for the 1095. Not sure if the other steels are exactly the same.
Thanks for replying.
I went to tkc but there no ak 8
It's on there new site, architect knives.com
Don’t understand why they make knives for survival with skeleton handles. Nice knife none the less
If you could apply enough pressure to break that skeletonized handle, then you could still break it even if it wasn't skeletonozed
How much?
The blade itself is under a hundred for 1095 steel. Then it depends on the accessories you purchase.
I would not want a Skeletonized handle and a survival knife

The situation dictates the knife.
The knife doesn’t dictate the

@@johnnyeas1431 I’ve also seen them snap pretty quick .it’s just my opinion why sacrifice an ounce or two.
