Handcrafted by Pallares, blacksmiths since 1917 in Solsona, at the foot of the Spanish Pyrenees.
To extend their exceptional lifespan, the tools are pre-treated by PALLARES: the metal parts are oiled and the wooden handles are waxed. These protective layers will help prevent damage caused by rust and moisture.
To take care of your great tools, here are a few simple steps to follow:
- After use, wipe them with a cloth and store them in a dry place if possible.
- Protect the steel with our Niwaki Camellia oil or another protective oil to prevent rust.
- Clean dirt and rust from the steel using our Niwaki Crean Mate scouring "eraser".
- For tools with a sharpened edge, sharpen them regularly
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 there in the 18th century, when it comprised 24 workshops grouped within the guild of Saint-Eloi, the patron saint of cutlers. Today, only one remains... the Pallares workshop.
The Pallares company was founded in 1917 by brothers Lluis and Carles Pallares Canal. It is currently run by David Pallares, the third generation of artisan cutlers.
The reason Pallares still exists is that, unlike the other craftsmen in the town, it managed to modernize in the 1960s and expand 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!
Famous for its knives, the artisanal company still produces hand-forged garden tools in the purest Catalan tradition. Highly functional and efficient, they are magnificent testaments to ancestral know-how.
