Anza founder Charlie Davis starting making high
carbon steel knives from files and the beginnings of his company from
1980-1982. Charlie
chooses to make his knives from files because a file is an excellent source of
high carbon tool steel.
Through a process called annealing, he removes the brittleness normally
found in a file. The knives are then hand ground to shape, a handle, commonly
known as Dymondwood is then added, and final finishing; polishing and
sharpening are then completed. The final result is a beautifully made knife
that will both hold an edge and sharpen easily.
His knives are so sharp and hold an edge so well, they have become a
favorite among guides and outfitters, hunters, backpackers, and fishermen. They
are also widely used as a utility knife by the "workingman". All Anza
Knives are handmade; each one is different in its own way. This is one reason
Anza Knives are very popular among collectors.
Each Anza Knife is furnished with it's own leather sheath. In order to
maintain the quality that goes into each Anza Knife, they generally make the
knives as they are ordered. Charlie said they do not compromise quality in
order to ship the knives in a hurry. If for any reason, within one year of
purchasing your Anza knife you are not completely satisfied with its
workmanship, utility or durability, you may send it to our plant and either
have the deficiency corrected or replaced with a knife of equal or greater
value. Anza has been committed to providing top handmade affordable knives
for the sportsman and collector.
