Impressive cleaver for cutting beautiful fish, essential for tackling a large sea bass, tuna, monkfish, swordfish, etc... allows you to cut into sections and lift the fillets.

Each piece is unique, finished and sharpened by hand.
Handcrafted by Pallares, cutlers since 1917 in Solsona, at the foot of the Spanish Pyrenees.
Solsona is a small, 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, when it boasted 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, a third-generation master cutler.
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 steel! And the quality of the cutting edge of its blades, all of which are finished and sharpened by hand!
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 an ancestral craft.
