Knifemakers & Cutlers
Plate M-29 · 86 stores · curated ORBIS register
Cuchillería Expósito makes knives and navajas in Albacete, continuing more than a century of handcrafted cutlery production. The navaja is the traditional Spanish folding knife, giving the Albacete workshop a specific form around which to work. In Tandil, Cuchillería Artesanal El Chaja makes facones and dagas within its criollo cutlery range, alongside knives intended for the parrilla.

Ask about the steel: ask whether the blade is stainless or carbon steel, and how each needs to be cared for.

Check the rules for carrying it: knives are restricted in hand luggage and in some countries, so arrange shipping if needed.
