DJ Urbanovsky

Since 2004, DJ Urbanovsky has been handcrafting pocket knives, camping knives, axes, and swords. The name of his company, American Kami, is a nod to the Nepalese knifemakers who have been crafting the so-called kukris for generations using the simplest of tools. Simple and effective knives—DJ Urbanovsky is completely convinced of this concept. Just like the traditional kukris, his designs are meant to be used for work, or as he himself says: "I don't build safe queens, I build users. I want you to go out and cut stuff!"
