Does anyone have an Anza knife? For me they kinda look nice. It will be greatly appreciated if anyone can tell me about them. Are they good knives? Are they comfortable?

The Boddington has the most comfortable handle (for me) of any knife I've owned.

I picked up a small hunter model to try out this brand, very nice. I will be buying a larger model in the future based on the small one I currently own.
 
They're not necessarily the sleekest, or the prettiest. You won't find advanced super steels, or amazing space-age handle materials.

What you will find is an amazing value in an extremely hardworking tool that will take abuse and keep on going. It takes a great edge without much work, holds the edge relatively well, and for the price, you will be very hard pressed to find a better value.

I own half a dozen of them. ;-)

Also, Charlie Davis is a great guy to deal with. Really, a good guy.

Lastly, a lot of people forget that Anza will do custom orders to your specs, too. You can get an amazing custom knife from them for a very good price.
 
Thank you guys for the quick replies. there is something about Anza that i like, couldn't pinpoint what though.:confused:
 
Anza knives are great! Charlie used to have Paul Bos' job at Buck heat-treating steel so he really knows his stuff. Sharp edges too.

His knives are all no-nonsense so you won't have any tactical doo-dads on them, they are old school and meant for hard use. Because of this, you shouldn't mind putting scratches on them.

Only one warning, because they are made from tool steel and still have some of the original file on them, they can hold moisture and rust easily unless you take care keeping them well oiled (I use wax on mine and haven't had a problem.)

I started with one,am up to 7 now,which won't be the last.
For me,they are a true grit knife,that you don't mind using,it's pure and simple
in design and materials that do the job. I collect Scandinavian knives also,which are also a pure and simple knife. The Anza, is the made in the USA Scandi

Very functional and practical. And, as mentioned, Charlie is a good guy who knows his work.
