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 with our Niwaki Crean Mate scouring "eraser".
- For tools with a sharpened edge, sharpen them regularly
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 there in the 18th century, when it counted 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 managed today by David Pallares, the 3rd generation of artisan cutlers.
The reason Pallares still exists is that, unlike the other artisans 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 steels! And the quality of the cutting edge of its blades, all of which are finished and sharpened by hand!
Famous for its knives, the artisan company still produces hand-forged garden tools in the purest Catalan tradition. Highly functional and efficient, they are magnificent testaments to ancestral craftsmanship.
