The larger of our two sizes of Catalonian Hunter axe, with hammer to the reverse. Traditionally used for breaking down carcasses, as well as cutting through light brush. Hand produced at the workshops of Cuchillería Pallarès, the one surviving knife and tool maker in a town once dotted with small manufacturers. Founded in 1917 by brothers Lluís and Carles Pallarès Canal, they are now a third generation family company with a workforce of 15 whose owners and management still split their time between administrative necessity and manual craft production.
This blade is made from carbon steel, which keeps a better edge than stainless, but will develop rust spots if left wet or kept damp and will naturally discolour in use — dry after use and oil regularly to keep it in good condition.
