TALAIA: An essential shop for Basque knives and makilas in Anglet

Since 2020, Éric has devoted all his expertise to creating objects inspired by Basque traditions. The Basque knife, with its blade as imposing as its handle, is made with exceptional woods such as juniper, olive, ebony or boxwood. The blade, in Damascus or forged steel, demonstrates extraordinary artisanal precision. Whether pocket, table or kitchen knives, each piece is marked by a label of quality and authenticity, reflecting Éric's meticulous work.

TALAIA makilas, for their part, embody Basque elegance par excellence. Made from ash wood and featuring a black horn or bone pommel, these walking sticks, inspired by the traditional makila, can be personalized according to your desires. Discover objects that are both functional and steeped in tradition, available exclusively in this unique boutique.

The Shepherd's Umbrella: Tradition and artisanal excellence at TALAIA

An icon of Basque pastoral life, the shepherd's umbrella is both a utilitarian and symbolic object, passed down from generation to generation. Éric, a passionate cutler, has reinvented this emblem by combining his expertise with that of Hervé and Christophe Panto, specialized artisans for three generations. The TALAIA shepherd's umbrella is distinguished by its sturdy cotton canvas, nine rattan ribs, a burnt ash wood shaft, and a buffalo or manech horn pommel. Every detail, right down to the handle adorned with the seven bands representing the Basque provinces, reflects absolute respect for tradition.

Available in five colors and with three different knobs (black horn, manech horn, or ivory-like bone), the TALAIA shepherd's umbrella can also be fully personalized. Have your initials, a symbol, or a message engraved on the knob, or a phrase on the brass ring. This exceptional product is much more than just an accessory: it's a piece of art and history to bring back from your stay in the Basque Country.
