Juan Luis Vergara

Juan Luis Vergara Gallego grew up in a family of cutlers in Albacete, Spain's knife capital: his grandfather set up his own workshop in the 1940s and his father carried it on. One of the independent makers who keep the city's navaja tradition alive, he gained his artisan cutler card in 2006 together with his father, and every knife and folding knife in his webshop is made by hand by him in his small workshop.
