Anybody else have a set of these? They are amazing! I’ve never gotten a stainless blade so sharp so quick. I love the handle shape. Reminds me of the shape of a loom fixer. And the blades are robust and well shaped. The one with the straight tip comes in handy as a scraper or small (stiff) putty knife.

Who makes them?
Where are they made?

Re: Cannon anchor knife set
Thanks for the review. I've seen these before and was attracted by the appearance. IIRC the set of three knives combined was about $20 total. Did some investigating and learned they're made in Communist China. Which is when I decided I don't need them.

Re: Cannon anchor knife set
Don’t know who makes them. Other than Cannon and made in China.
Very unusual for me to buy anything foreign. I got them for less than $5 a knife. I’m not getting into politics here.
Here they are closed and with a Buck 110 for size reference.

Re: Cannon anchor knife set
I bought this set a couple of years ago. I like the looks and have mine displayed in the living room. I don't remember who I bought my set from but I do recall that they claimed that these were imported by Queen. Don't if that's true though.....
Re: Cannon anchor knife set
Funny you mentioned displaying them. They come in a box with a clear cover almost like a display case. They are nicely done.
Until you hold / sharpen/ cut with them you won’t understand. They are quality pieces. They just don’t fit the typical made in China stereotype. Great work knives too. I’m glad I took a chance on them.

Re: Cannon anchor knife set
They certainly have a nice look to 'em, and for the price I'm going to go pick up a set. I'm gonna go check the Bay and see what i can find. As for the china stuff, there is a whole lot of pure, ugly, crap out there for sure, but in recent years the quality produced by some companies has greatly differed from the usual and improved; Ganzo, Rough Rider & Marbles to name a few put out some decent knives for the price.
Re: Cannon anchor knife set
They look pretty good, and the cost for a set of three is a little less than half what one authentic Otter Messer anchor knife would cost .Thinking I'll pick up a set myself--they look like great working knives.
