Pallares is the last surviving workshop in an area one-time famous (since the 1600s) for its knife making workshops. The third-generation run company was founded by two brothers in Solsona, Spain in 1917. Pallares strives to use traditional, high-quality materials and have always been known for well tempered steel.

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.

4.75”L blade

This is a carbon steel knife. Carbon steel is expected to develop a dark patina with use. It needs to be hand washed and towel dried soon after use. Do not air dry. Do not put it in the dishwasher. Long exposure to moisture and debris will result in rust. Any rust development should be removed with a light abrasive.

Use on a quality wooden cutting board will help the knife stay sharper for longer. Use on hard surfaces like plates and bamboo will reduce the edge life and can result in edge damage.

We recommend hand sharpening on whetstones. We have found that most western knives perform best with a medium finish starting around 1000 grit. Avoid pull through sharpeners and non-water cooled mechanized sharpening. Steel honing rods work well with this knife.
