Pallarès Stainless Steel Pocket Knife with Olive Wood Handle

Popularly known as solsonesa or pallaresa, this knife is a classic in much of Spain. I really think there must be few shepherds or farmers who have not used one of these knives at some point in their lives. I myself remember that both my father and grandfather have always carried them in their pockets and I have even seen blades reduced to their minimum expression of the times they have been sharpened.

It has a blade length of 8.5cm.

As it is such a popular knife, its cheap version with a plastic handle is very common in hardware stores and village markets, but we also want to highlight the beautiful knife that Pallarès handcrafts with an olive wood handle. I find it very practical that on this occasion the blade is made of stainless steel as it allows us to use it in the forest, in our garden or even to take it to the market to savour a piece of fruit or a piece of sausage without worrying about the blade rusting. 

We do not recommend putting it in the dishwasher.

The history of Pallarès

Pallarès is a Spanish company that has been manufacturing knives by hand since 1917. It was founded in Solsona by the Pallarès brothers and is currently run by the third generation of these brothers. Pallarès knives are characterised by their traditional manufacture, the quality of the materials used and their excellent cut as each knife is made and sharpened by hand by master craftsmen. Their kitchen knives are appreciated all over the world as a symbol of functional knives with their own character and beautiful design.
