Hand crafted, hand stamped and hard sharpened in Spain. 

The knife industry is a tradition in Solsona that dates back to the sixteenth century.  Pallarès Solsona founded in 1917, is the only remaining testament to the renowned knife-making industry, still maintaining exceptional standards of quality and craftsmanship.

This small 11cm knife has a beautiful Box Wood handle and a carbon steel blade. An excellent, multi-purpose kitchen knife for a commited home cook - this is a great tool but does require a little more work than a stainless steel knife. 

Carbon steel makes a harder and stronger cutting blade than stainless steel, it is also easier to sharpen. In return for its performance carbon steel will need a little bit of love and care, as it will tend to oxidise if not well maintained.
- to avoid rusting, it is recommended that carbon steel blades are kept oiled.
- do not soak it in water and never place it in the dishwasher.
- to clean the knife, wipe the blade with a damp cloth and dry immediately.
- to reduce the frequency of re-sharpening, wooden chopping boards are recommended.

If your carbon steel blade is beginning to rust, use a scouring pad and and acid, such as vinegar and gently rub it on the affected area. After the rust has been removed, dry the blade, re-sharpen and oil to prevent future rusting.
