    A beautiful gift! At my request, since I live far from the store, Farol personalized this gift. It was a lovely surprise to receive it, along with a handwritten note! A wonderful gesture, thank you! 🤩 A. BONAMY

    Here, form follows function. The blades and handles are crafted in the wake of the most beautiful fish and cetaceans, embracing their contours to better capture their beauty, and expressing the story of those who shape them: noble woods, clean blades, and discreet, poetic maritime engineering. Farol tools are magnificent objects of everyday art for the fisherman, the cook, the gourmet, or simply the lover of fine knives.
