Pallares – A Century of Spanish Knife Making
Hailing from Solsona in northern Spain, the Pallares family have been producing knives for more than a hundred years.
Now led by the third generation, they continue to make practical, timeless tools that balance utility and beauty — knives designed to be used daily and to last a lifetime.

Steel Options – Carbon or Stainless
Pallares knives are available in carbon steel or stainless steel, each with its own character and advantages.
Carbon steel takes a finer, sharper edge and holds it for longer, giving that lively, responsive feel you’ll notice the first time you cut. Over time it develops a soft grey patina — a natural layer that protects the blade and tells the story of use. It does, however, need a little extra care: wash and dry thoroughly after each use to prevent rust, and never leave it wet.
Stainless steel, by contrast, offers easy maintenance and corrosion resistance, making it ideal for busy kitchens or those who prefer a little less upkeep. While it doesn’t take quite as keen an edge as carbon, Pallares’ stainless blades are well heat-treated and deliver excellent everyday performance with minimal fuss.
Whichever steel you choose, every Pallares knife is hand-finished, well-balanced, and made to be used daily — simple tools that reward care and honest use.

Care Instructions
• Hand wash only — never put knives in the dishwasher.
• Dry completely after each use to prevent rust or staining.
• If light rust appears, gently remove it with a dry scourer and rinse again.
• Use a wooden or soft plastic board to preserve the edge.
• Sharpen with whetstones for best long-term performance.
• Allow the patina to form naturally on carbon steel — it protects the steel and tells the story of use.
