Our history

Cuchillería Navarro is a company founded in 1947 by a humble family from Albacete. It began (with Antonio Navarro Nieto—the first generation) using a simple motor in the courtyard of their own home on Calle del Sol (Albacete).

It then passed to Francisco Navarro Argandoña (son of Antonio – 2nd generation), who together with his brother Mario, set up the new workshop on Calle del Oro.

After a few years in which they only manufactured for warehousemen, Francisco decided to start a business, traveling to Madrid and making his first clients in El Rastro. It didn’t take them long to grow and create their new workshop on Almansa Street, where they already had a German grinder, more motors than before, tempering ovens, etc… In addition to a staff of first-rate official workers with quite a bit of experience at that time.

At this time, given the success of the brand, the Navarros set up two retail stores, one in Albacete on Tesifonte Gallego street and the other in a nearby town called Chinchilla de Monte Aragón. This is where the 3rd generation (the daughters of the two brothers) would go on to serve the public in the stores.

Throughout its life, the company has been in different facilities, but for about 20 years now we have been on the A31 highway (Alicante Highway) towards Madrid. Just at exit 65. In our facilities we make all kinds of arrangements for clients who require it, as well as the manufacturing of our products. Which are table knives (our flagship), kitchen knives and classic pocket knives among other products.

Currently the store is run by the granddaughter of Francisco Navarro Argandoña and one of the daughters of the 3rd generation, becoming the 4th generation of the brand. Her name is María Acebal Navarro. Which you can meet in person if you visit us at our current facilities.
