@casuladisalvador Hello, google for this and you'll find an online shop with these knives: filofiel pallares

i really like the blade on that folder.

i know foods with an acid in it can stain a knife, but what about foods with a base? can they stain as well?

i don't trust my judgement on how dull a knife has to be to not cut u, because one time i knew for a fact the knife was too dull to cut, but cut it did, it was just a small scratch, but the point was proven

Great to see more beautiful hand fashioned knives like these eloquently reviewed on YouTube. Your work often makes for a welcome contrast to endless Striders and so forth. Thank you.

Welcome back! Superb, informative review as usual.

Nice and informative video! At the same Dutch knife show, the DKE, Is bought a folder like that but with olive wood. I have been using is quite a bit and it holds up very well. Good steel and heat treat. Great value for money.

Very nice! So glad to see you back on here. Good on ya and keep them coming. Thanks for the reviews.

Ah another Dagon review, that saved my day.

As I have said before, thank you for introducing another wonderful knife compant to many of us. Glad to see you are back and, I hope your Mac didn't cost to much to get repaired. Also a quick question and request. You wouldn't happen to have a knife from the Japanese company "Rockstead." If you do would you do a review of it.

[MrDagon007]

@DTBroad My Mac has to go back to the repair centre, alas... (see my other reply).

I do not have a Rockstead knife but I did examine them at a knife fair. They are incredible indeed. I might include them in a knife show impression video, if possible.

Great Review! When we visited Solsona we stumbled upon the knife factory/museum/shop Pallares and we bought EXACTLY THE SAME TWO KNIVES. The kichen one I used for dinner tonight, yes they do stain a little but they don't rust. And they stay sharp as hell. At the factory they have knives, scissors, tools, etc. Prices are the same as in the Netherlands, 8 euros for the kitchen knife. Solsona is boringly-quiet little town, Girona is better. Had fun going to Spain to buy ours.

Cheers, James.

[MrDagon007]

@msdikzak Exactly the same two knives? Well, then you've got excellent taste, sir !

Enjoy them, I think these are two products with soul, something rare in modern production cutlery. And of course, any excuse is good to visit Spain. Wonderful country.

your tone and attitude make your videos very easy and enjoyable to watch. you're a true aficionado. 

[MrDagon007]

@hadleyjack Thanks all for the friendly feedback. Next to holiday my Mac was in repair over a month, hence the delay. Unfortunately it's still not fully fixed: the graphics chip crashes when it heats up. It took me three attempts to upload this clip. I do hope that the next fix (under warranty if the previous repair) will be quicker! Another video (a book review) is also ready.

Very elegant knives, thank you for the video.

[o2wow]

Thanks for another examination of European knife makers.

[LastDEF]

Thanks a lot for the video I really really want that kitchen knife. I would probably buy a few and give some to family. I think a kitchen knife is an excelent gift because it will be used and everytime they pick it up they think of you. -Vincent

Great to have you back doing reviews

[h4KK]

Thanks keeping it up, it felt like YouTube was missing something while you were gone.

[kevisit111]

Glad to hear from you.

[An0nEeMouse]

Welcome back! I have missed your reviews. Beautiful knives.

[sae1095hc]

Thanks for the review!

I'm partial to carbon steel and leaf shaped blades.
