Paxkal Exposito

Sharp, whole and generous, Paxkal Exposito is like his creations: he is unique.

The son of fishmongers living in Biarritz, Pascal wondered how to maintain his parents' knives. He began training in sharpening and quickly found followers of his expertise among the neighboring merchants. 

1987 marked the year he launched his business in this field. He expanded his skills: sharpening scissors and restoring cutlery. In 2004, after receiving specific training in medlar processing, he created his own knives and founded the artisanal cutlery business. The Bidart workshop-boutique was opened in 2011.

Paxkal and his team are craftsmen, and make knives from A to Z: their own creations. These unique pieces are called Artzaina, Mizpira, Bixia, they are thought and imagined in the Basque Country with always a story, a symbol and lines which signify their belonging to their territory.
