History of 3 Claveles: tradition, craftsmanship, and expansion

The brand 3 Claveles, managed by the company Bueno Hermanos, S.A., is a Spanish firm with deep roots in the world of cutlery and the manufacturing of cutting tools.

Origins and early years (1930 – following decades)

The history of 3 Claveles began in 1930, when seven brothers with the surname Bueno decided to start a business project that gave rise to a small artisanal workshop. In its beginnings, the activity focused mainly on producing domestic scissors, such as those used for sewing, manicure, and household tasks.

During those first years, production was entirely handcrafted: each blade was hollow-ground, polished, burnished, and sharpened individually. The quality and attention to detail in each piece quickly made “3 Claveles” scissors well-known in the Spanish market.

Although early documentation is not abundant, it is known that the company maintained links with regions of strong cutlery tradition in Spain, gradually consolidating its own identity.

In 1963, reflecting its growth, the Bueno family moved the company’s headquarters to Logroño, where they built a 5,000 m² plant to house machinery, workshops, and more efficient production processes. This marked a decisive step toward industrial expansion and the professionalization of its activity.

Over time, the company expanded its catalog beyond scissors, incorporating kitchen knives, household tools, pliers, manicure accessories, and other personal care and cutting instruments.

Evolution, modernization, and current catalog

In the decades that followed, the company continued to increase its capacity, modernize its facilities, and launch new product lines. In the 21st century, 3 Claveles has maintained a constant commitment to quality, innovation, and design, which has allowed it to preserve its prestige in the sector.

Today the brand is internationally recognized as a Spanish manufacturer of professional cutlery, with more than 90 years of experience producing scissors, knives, pliers, and accessories. Its catalog includes chef’s knives, ham knives, pastry knives, serrated knives, as well as kitchen scissors, sewing scissors, hairdressing scissors, and technical scissors.

Among its most recent collections are lines such as Polar, Oslo, and Japanese-inspired series, reflecting a commitment to diversify styles, aesthetics, and materials to adapt to current trends.

The catalog also highlights different handle designs for knives: the traditional and robust Uniblock with 3 rivets; ergonomic, antibacterial handles such as Proflex; and elegant wooden handles, with styles such as Sakura, Osaka, and Norden, offering a balance between functionality and design.
