Anza knife are great 👍 thank you from kansas

I just bought one of your knives from the House of Blades. It's absolutely beautiful. I had a couple of knives at the counter and I had them restock them because I just fell in love with this knife. Sharp as hell too.

What is the grit paper actually made of? Is it an emery cloth? And what grit level? Do you offer multiple grit levels?

Can folks visit your shop?

Can folks come inperson to the shop and ha warranty work done on a knife?

Make some nail clippers! FFS man take some pride...

One of the stupidest things I've ever seen! Ever wonder why you're the only one doing this??

Hello Charlie, just wanted to say thank you for making a wonderful product. I was drilling out in Mansfield, Pa about 12 years ago when I seen a guy on my crew with an anza knife. I fell in love immediately and drove to the nice man’s house that was selling Anza knives knocked on his door (randomly) and asked if he had anymore he would be willing to part with he came out with a box full and sold a half dozen to me and my co-workers. I bought a couple off eBay, then came across your website and KZbin, just placed an order today for a Christmas gift for my brother-in-law and a sharpener for myself. I have also given one to my brother. None of us have ever had any problem with them after years of use and abuse. Cheers from Utah!

I got my dad an Anza for Father’s Day a few years back and he’s been very happy with it as his shop knife since. Keep up the great work!

For working knives to get a very toothy edge that cuts well in a draw cut okay.

Did you see the gouges left on the first bevel - I wouldn't use that thing on a garden tool.

What is the exact knife model used in this video. Or at least a newer version if no longer available. Thanks.

Have had two of his knives for years, alternate as daily carry. Hold a great edge and solid as a rock.

Anyone sharping their 250 buck knives like that. ?!?!?!

Bring back the grizzly

The high angle is a convex that’s how come it can go so high without removing so much steel . I ordered one and I’m excited to use it to set that higher bevel and then go to my polishing stones

Love the videos . Charlie is the man

I for one would like to know what that glue is ! Lol

I bought the Boddington this morning . I’m an aspiring knife smith

I just ordered the Boddington

Angle accuracy and consistency with the blade pulles

Great idea, thanks for sharing,,l

I just got my first Anza knife...the Lil bambino...I love it... being a female it fits my hand very well and I love small knives....the Lil bambino is my new edc.

Hello, love your knives n all. Got a few. But since you mentioned it...what u learned from the hunters makes sense. BUT I have notivced that on your knives the edge is always very wide because of that. Why dont you grind the blade thinner instead n put a smaller edge on ... Or would that in your opinion n Experience make it too weak since u use a hollow grind? Thx all the best

Preach it, my friend! I watched both videos. You continue to feed your passion in your own way. Just like its supposed to be.

Loved the black marker idea!

1:14 LOL, 10 YEARS!! Quick call the knife police!! How commenters love to exaggerate. This genius doesn't seem to notice that is a piece of a a sanding belt for a belt sander, which knife makers / forgers use to put the edge on knives. I guess they also missed the part where you fine tune with a fine stone to remove the burr to finish.

Friggen genius. Took me a long time to learn to sharpen hunting knives properly. I will be contacting soon with dealership inquiry!

I just watched this video and went to the website. However, I have questions and would like to chat with you.can you please send me either an email address or preferably a telephone number. Thank you.

Nice to this, love your products.

You just took away 10 years of the life of the blade in 10 seconds. Why on earth would you make something like this with such a coarse grit? I’m honestly curious. Part of sharpening a blade is removing as little steel as possible. This just hurts to watch.

I went threw mine the 3rd day. I've had mine for 4 years. my skinning EDC knife orange bone I love it

I don't want to sharpen a $200 Benchmade like this, but for a knife I am doing some rough work with, this sounds like what to do.

What is CD Sheath?

I had several of your knives for YEARS... I got em back in the mid 90's as gifts from my grandpa. I was only 10 or so when he gave them to me.

Pro tip: Put a link to your knife store in the description.

Cool. What grit is that??

Does the flex in your sharpener result in a convex edge?

Where I buy

I just turned 55 My father purchased a knife for me back in 82. I still have it, the sheath is a bit warm from extreme sun, rain, ocean water, high humidity and extreme humidity lows. The knife is surviving better that the sheath. But I wouldn’t trade, sell, or change anything. This knife has become a badge of honor. Could use one with a thicker handle as my arthritis sometimes does not allow my a proper grip to use this old blade, but after 43 years I am still a grateful owner. And While I was running flea markets around the Southwest, I was proud to sell them. Thank you Charlie and the family, and the whole team. One of these days I will buy a newer blade for myself ;) maybe a video explaining what annealing is, not the process you use so much, but rather a proper explanation of what it is and how it relates to your knife making process.

That looks brutal, but it works😂

I have had and used Anza knives for almost 30 years, never had a handle scale come off yet.

I have just discovered your chain and your knives, I love your achievements and the way you work. I live in France and in my country there are no more passionate craftsmen like you, I will dream of learning to work like you, I will visit your site to buy one of your knives, thank you for sharing these videos.

Looks like a simple, cheap and effective way to get a convext edge without power tools. Do you plan to sell multiple grits in the future?

My Anza knife was stolen from my car 😢

I have a hunter made of a file. I wonder what year it was made. Looks like it could be from the 80s

Charlie is an icon in the knife world. His sharpening method certainly works well.

Hello Charlie still remember when you started in the back of Gem & Treasure store , I still have my custom Buck folding Hunter that you retrofitted a custom D-2 Steel blade & Custom hand made leather sheath. Oh yeah gold panning in Coleman creek with you Cy Hall & Harold Baker in 1982 next time I’m in San Diego I will drop in and say hy & have you sharpen my blade

Hello friends, where are you located?

absolutely the best knife I've ever had. I always used my dad's old-timer he got in 69.a new hire stole it. I bought a orange bone medium . and fell in love.truly the world's best
