Hello LLuc Aggullo! I am aware of how unique the people of Catalunya are. It was a wonderful place to visit, and everyone was very friendly. My wife lived in Sevilla Spain for 5 months during school, and she also agreed that it felt much like a unique culture and people. I actually sought out a Pallares knife because it was the only maker I could find inside of the region. I do hope that you understand that as things sit currently, I had to show my passport to Spanish authorities to enter the region, and that is why I include in a playlist of Spanish knives. When Catalunya gains it's independence then I will update the video!
Greetings from Spain, I live in the Basque country and I’m very fond of knives. Looking at your series of Spanish knives I have discovered a whole new world about knives from this country. Thank you so much for the information.
Traditional European knives are a favourite of mine, this ones very nice. There's a French saying that roughly translates to ''if you close your knife gently, the blade lasts longer'' which is good advice for many traditional European folders. Great stuff!
Solsona, accent on the second syllable. The shape of that blade is known in southern France as "sage leaf" shape, which is surely the same term used on the southern slopes of the Pyrenees, "hoja en forma de salvia".
yeah I hear you, they pack quite an unexpected punch when closing them. Not menacing to open up, dangerous to close down. My couple scars are a witness hahah
50/50. Most of the times yes, but they're made out of soft steel. You can sharpen them back out of literally anything. Great survival tool, won't ever break on you.
