TALAIA, unique knives, 100% Basque

Far from being mere everyday objects, TALAIA knives are true symbols of Basque culture and identity. Crafted from exceptional woods such as juniper, olive, boxwood, and ebony, they reflect a magnificent fusion of Basque and Japanese traditions, offering unique and authentic handcrafted knives. Folding knives, pocket knives, kitchen knives, or table knives—these are sublime jewels with Damascus or forged steel blades, 100% Basque and customizable.

TALAIA, walking sticks and MAKILA made to your specifications

True emblems of the Basque Country, walking sticks and MAKILA are genuine works of art, passionately crafted by Éric in his workshop in Anglet. Here again, he draws inspiration from Japanese culture, employing a charred wood technique that reveals the beauty of the ash wood used to create his magnificent wooden jewelry. Simple, elegant, and functional, TALAIA walking sticks are tailored to your needs and personality, like the latest addition, the mushroom stick, which cleverly conceals a knife in its handle.

TALAIA, a handcrafted and high-quality shepherd's umbrella

Here's an essential item from the Basque Country: the shepherd's umbrella. Once used by shepherds watching over their sheep in the mountains, it's now an emblem of the region, perfectly reflecting Basque history and traditions. Talented and passionate, Éric takes pleasure in crafting innovative shepherd's umbrellas with a unique artisanal know-how that remains his secret. Proud of his region and its artisans, he collaborates with the family business, Les Parapluies des Pyrénées (The Umbrellas of the Pyrenees), to develop a range of 100% Basque, high-end umbrellas.

The added bonus: Eric adapts to your wishes to create custom and personalized pieces. Knives, walking sticks, or shepherd's umbrellas—don't hesitate to contact him to design the object of your dreams.
