Handcrafted by Pallares, cutlers since 1917 in Solsona, at the foot of the Spanish Pyrenees.
Solsona is a preserved small 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, when it comprised 24 workshops grouped within the guild of Saint Eloi, 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 managed today by David Pallares, a third-generation artisan cutler.
If Pallares still exists, it is because it managed to modernize in the 60s and expand its market to the rest of Spain and Europe.
It is also, and above all, thanks to the quality of its steels and the sharpness of its blades, which are all finished and sharpened by hand!
Very well known for its knives, the artisanal company still produces garden tools forged by hand in the purest Catalan tradition.
