Carbon steel is harder than stainless steel and will hold its edge longer before needing to be sharpened. It does require a bit of care and attention. Always remember to KEEP YOUR KNIFE DRY, as carbon steel will rust when it remains wet. It is also natural for carbon steel to develop a patina over time. Run a towel over the knife between uses and store in a dry place.

 

The knife industry is a tradition in Solsona that dates back to the sixteenth century.  The company Pallarès, founded in 1917, is today the only testimony to Solsona's (Spain) renowned knife-making industry. At the beginning of this century, the third generation took over the running of the company. Throughout its history, Cuchillería Pallarès has chosen and still chooses the materials to be used by always seeking out the highest quality, and its main aim has been and still is the quality of the cutting edge, which is why all knives are sharpened by hand.
