David C. Andersen is always learning. Knives have been a passion ever since earning his Totin’ Chip as a Boy Scout, and he has immersed himself in all aspects of the knife world, from practical use to hands-on knifemaking and design.

Every knife you pick up has a lesson to teach. DCA has been writing about knives and producing knife videos since 2013, which has allowed him to handle thousands of knives. Combined with his own experience and the mentorship of prominent industry figures including Ethan Becker and L.T. Wright, David made the most of his opportunities to learn and honed his understanding of practical knife design.

Ultimately, a knife is made to work, and DCA’s designs prioritize function without sacrificing form. His designs have earned awards at industry-recognized knife shows and have proven to be sales successes.

“I couldn’t be happier to be working with the team at ArtisanCutlery and CJRB. Their commitment to producing high-quality knives that offer a ton of value make them a great partner, and they have done a great job of executing the vision I have had for my designs.” -David C. Andersen
