Pallares

Founded in 1917, Pallarès is the last surviving knife maker in Solsona, Spain—a town with centuries of cutlery heritage. Still family-run, Pallarès produces a wide range of carbon and stainless steel kitchen, garden, and table knives. Their carbon steel blades, paired with olive or boxwood handles, are especially valued for their rustic charm. 

Their knives are completely hand-ground and hand-assembled and have wonderful cutting feel and good edge retention. Please note, these can have cosmetic scratches or small imperfections in handles which will not impede the performance of the knife. This is par for the course on these knives and is part of how they sell them for a very reasonable price.
