David Brodziak was born in Chatswood N.S.W. in 1948, he moved to Perth with his family in 1957 where he grew up and married Gail in 1972, in 1975 they moved to Albany on the South Coast of Western Australia.

David's interests have always included Art, Woodwork and Metalwork, so when he began making knives in 1989, the transition was compatible to his previous interests. Knifemaking became a passion with David so it was no surprise when he left his position as Dyer and Colorist at the Albany Woolen Mills and began Knifemaking full-time at the beginning of 1993.

Since then David has gone from strength to strength, making a diverse range of knives, from practical working knives to unique art knives using several types of blade steel and a large variety of handle materials including timbers from the goldfields of W.A. and beyond. He is regularly coming up with new designs and styles, David's knives are sold both nationally and internationally.

David has won many awards for his knives. The most recent being:- Best Art Knife, Best Kitchen Knife, Best Hunter and Best Small Game Knife at the Australian Knifemakers Guild Show held in Melbourne, May 2000. Best show knife at the National Custom Knife Show held in Perth, November 1999.
