What Anza Knives says:
Anza Knives is a small, family-run knife maker based in El Cajon, California, known for producing handmade, one-of-a-kind fixed-blade knives crafted from high-carbon steel files.

Founded by Charlie Davis in the early 1980s, the company emphasizes old-school craftsmanship, keeping visible file marks and hand-finished details as part of its signature style. Anza Knives are designed as tough “working knives” for hunters, ranchers, outdoorsmen, and collectors, and are known for sharp edges, durability, and lifetime warranty support.

Operating out of a small shop in El Cajon, Anza Knives has built a loyal following for its rugged, practical blades and personal, small-batch approach to knife making.
