Each piece is unique, full of its own history …
A scabbard made in Buffalo leather accompanies each of our basque knife Mizpira. We specially design it to make the basque cross appear. We also create a scabbard for belt.
Our partner for scabbard is Remy Carriat Tannery from Espelette
Each basque knife Mizpira is supplied with a parchment which it’s numbered for Mizpira Damascus blade…
The parchment confirms the authenticity of your Mizpira and tells you about the soul and the story of Mizpira …
« … come closer, cherish its invaluable flesh so that it lives under your fingers, its prints speak to you about a history, this story of love between the medlar, time and the man: in May, these lovers meet, the man engraves the tree with the greatest care and lets it continue its slow growth until November, best time for the cut and the collecting of the scarified feet of medlar. Long years of drying will give it the hardness necessary to be a defence stick when it becomes a Makila, authentic and traditional travel companion in the Basque culture.
Its beautiful warm shade comes from barking, straightening and steaming in ovens
