It is the story of a boy who loved to sharpen his parents' knives and who decided to make it his profession, well rather his profession-passion.
Pascal Exposito is an artisan cutler, passionate about the Basque Country and Cutlery, he decided to create with his sister the Basque Cutlers.
When we walk through the door of the Etxettoa farm where Pascal and his team are busy in the workshop, we discover a new universe, that of craftsmanship of patience and precision, one where we like to share this passion for beautiful knives, which are sublimated in beautiful cases.
For several years, Pascal has been imagining and creating his knives by drawing inspiration from the traditions, lines and materials found in the landscapes of the Basque Country.
Each creation has its own story, name and codes.
