Customizing Knives With Our Knife Builder Tool

Dec 21 2020 - 2:39

We offer plenty of knives from some truly amazing brands, but most of these knives are only available in a single style or very limited varieties. If you are someone who enjoys being able to put your own touch on your favorite tools, we are here to help. Ordering a tailor made knife from a knife maker is not the only way to get a knife that will be a perfect fit for you. Our exclusive Knife Builder tool is designed to make the process of putting together your own custom knives quick and easy. All you have to do is choose the knife model that you want and then complete a few simple choices to make your own custom knife package.

Our Knife Builder tool is currently limited to three brands that we know and trust. Our customers can choose between a selection of quality knife models from ESEE Knives, The Ontario Knife Company, and our own Architect brands. If you want to know a little more about these brands, we’ll give you a quick rundown.

ESEE Knives - Started by two jungles survival experts, ESEE Knives is a brand dedicated to creating practical survival knives. Every new knife that they produce is designed to be a workhorse in the field. Every one of their sturdy knives are backed by an unrivaled no questions asked warranty so you can buy with confidence. You can currently choose between the ESEE Laser Strike, ESEE Junglas, ESEE Izula II, ESEE 3, ESEE 4, ESEE 5, and ESEE 6.

The Ontario Knife Company - The Ontario Knife Company, founded in New York in 1889, is a manufacturer known for quality. They have a long history of producing high quality knives including bayonets for America’s military. They also produce a wide range of knives for everything from the kitchen to the wilderness. We currently offer the Ontario TAK-1 and the Ontario RAT-5.

Architect Knives - The most recent addition to our Knife Builder is also the one that we are the most excited about. Admittedly we are a little biased because these Architect Knives are the results of years of work aimed at producing our own The Knife Connection exclusive knives. Years ago our founder Dale was thinking about what he would want in the perfect outdoor knife and now, after a decade of work, we are proud to offer the Field Buddy to our customers. Our Architect Field Buddy 5.5 and Field Buddy 6.5 are both only offered through our Knife Builder tool.

Once you know what brand and model knife you want, you can begin the process of creating your own custom knives. This involves choosing from a series of multiple choice menus that will help you find the perfect elements and accessories to go with your knife. The first option will be to choose the finish on your knife’s blade. Many products will have different powder coat finish options and a few models may even let you choose a partially serrated blade option.

After you pick out a great blade finish, you will have to choose your handle scales. We offer custom machined G10 handle scales. G10 is a composite material made by layer fiberglass soaked in epoxy resin. The resulting material is both waterproof and wear resistant. It can be machined to provide a perfect fit and a great grip. Our handle scales are available in several colors so you can find an option that will complement your blade choice.

Finally, once the elements of your knife have been chosen, you will get to pick the accessories to go with your new custom built knife. The most obvious accessory that you will need is a sheath. Every knife model will have different sheath options ranging from a classic leather sheath to molded kydex sheaths that are compatible with MOLLE sheath systems. You will also find a range of useful accessories like an ESEE Arrowhead, fire steels with custom handles, and spools of paracord to go into your survival kit. Once you have selected all of the options you want in your new custom knife kit, you can check out and we will get your knife kit ready to ship.

It’s that easy to put together your own custom knife package when you use our knife builder. If you love one of our ESEE Knives, OKC Knives, or Architect knives, take matters into your own hands and put together a knife with the perfect look and feel. Our custom knives are shipped as a kit for you to assemble as part of the knife customization 'process'.
