    Those guys over at Blade HQ are cool and fun, but there is something more genuine and comforting about DCA

      He also makes knives. That gives him the rare, intimate connection to the craft that many don't have on the sales side.

      Blade HQ is certainly more typical youtuber approach. There is an emphasis on being fun and entertaining. Nothing wrong with it.
      But if John Wick needed a knife, he would go to this guy. 😆

    The emotion in your voice when you were so proudly talking about your knife being on the cover of Knives Illustrated hit me solid in the feels man. I think this is why we love your videos- you're such a genuine guy and so quietly passionate. We felt that dude, I'm not crying you're crying 😅 really wholesome stuff.

      L.T. is an old school blacksmith and gentleman. If he took well to DCA, I'd say that tells me my first impression of DCA was correct: Good guy to have around the campfire. Seeing the pictures I did of DCA actually handling Ethan Becker's original Kephart (be still, my pounding heart) confirms this. Check out the article: www.knifemagazine.com/the-original-kephart-examined/

    @mattadler4710 Před 3 lety

    Wow. I would just like to thank David and the Knife Center for obliging our request for this video. I certainly asked for it myself more than once, but I was still totally floored when I saw the video thumbnail with that title. I must say, the video did not disappoint. I really believe that I am not alone when I say that it's about more than just the knives that motivated so many requests for this. i think I speak for a lot of folks out there when I say that we have really grown to respect and appreciate David as an exceptional host (none better), a brilliant knife maker/designer, and really just an all around expert of cutlery (I don't use that word lightly) and getting to see his collection gives us just a little bit of a look into how things have progressed and evolved throughout his journey in the knife world. Nothing but respect and appreciation for you my man, you will always have the support of this fan. Happy Holidays everyone. What is everyone gonna carry on New Years Eve?!?!

Thank you for posting this fixed blade collection for the rest of us to see how the path you've traveled in the knife world has led you to where you are in life today! My first Nessmuk was the LT Wright Saber ground Camp Muk in CPM-3V, Double Red Micarta with Natural Micarta Liners, and my most recent Nessmuk purchase was your Nordsmith Canteen, Natural Micarta with Green Liners. The Canteen was my Christmas present to self this year & I am very thankful to have that outstanding knife in my collection! Review to come shortly after I get to play with it a bit more. Congratulations on the 100K+ subscribers & I hope you & yours have a fantastic New Year!

    I believe you understand that making something by hand adds a part of the maker’s soul to the things they make. You may make many knives of the same design; but none are exactly the same. This why each one is special; to the maker and the one who receives the knife. I believe you made some very nice knives. It would be hard to abuse something you took hours to make. That is better left to the one who pays the price of owning it.

    Mr. Anderson,
    Thank you very much for sharing this unique personal story with us. I don't know how or why it came up in my feed at midnight on a Sunday in late August 2023, but I felt the emotions coming from you as you told the history of those blades on the table and the friendships along the way. I think the better way of putting it is hearing the opportunities you had, the bonds you made, and the souvenirs you picked up along the way that will forever keep those memories alive inside you. I never knew any of that about you, Your blogs, papers the work with LT Wright, or your venture into knife-making. Thanks again, Do you have any other videos about your history or background? If not video, any print articles, etc. Best to you and your family.

    Thank you sir for allowing us to know a little more about your personal life. Your love for the knife industry is pretty evident with every video you make and in the sound of your voice when you talk about the knives you present. I watch your videos and you never come across as a salesman but a friend who is explaining each and every knife in a way that we as viewers gain trust in you and the information you provide leaves us knowledgeable about the product with the pressure to buying a knife. Again thank you for your videos and keep them coming! And best of luck on your endeavors sir.

    Great collection David! I’ve been in the knife community for only a few years but understand your connection to the makers. What a great group of people. I’ve always wanted a GNS but have now strayed towards folders. However, I’ve got a Bark River Aurora II that accompanies me on all of my wilderness adventures. Great channel, you deserve the success.

    Wonderful DCA! I'm not even into fixed blades much, but this was amazing.

    I appreciate the quiet passion this guy has for knives. The giddy boyish enthusiasm of the BHQ guys, not so much. But then I’m old. Cool glimpse of your collection and knife making, Mr. Anderson. Thanks.
