Handcrafted by Pallares, cutlers since 1917 in Solsona, at the foot of the Spanish Pyrenees.
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, 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 currently managed by David Pallares, a third-generation master cutler.
If Pallares still exists today, it is because, unlike the other artisans in the town, 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 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 effective, they are magnificent testaments to ancestral know-how.
