Solsona is a small, well-preserved town in Catalonia, at the foot of the Pyrenees, where the knife industry is a tradition dating back to the 16th century.
This industry reached its peak in the 18th century, with 24 workshops grouped within the guild of Saint Eloi, the patron saint of cutlers. Today, only one remains... that of Pallares.
The Pallares company was founded in 1917 by brothers Lluis and Carles Pallares Canal. It is now run by David Pallares, a third-generation master cutler.
If Pallares still exists today, it is because it succeeded in modernizing in the 1960s and expanding its market to the rest of Spain and Europe.
It is also, and above all, thanks to the quality of its steel and the sharpness of its blades, all of which are hand-finished and sharpened!
Well-known for its knives, the artisanal company also continues to produce hand-forged garden tools in the purest Catalan tradition.
