At 3Claveles, we are delighted to announce the renewal of our collaboration with José Manuel Hidalgo until 2028. The agreement extends a professional relationship that began in 2014 and, more than a decade later, continues to grow with the same passion, commitment and respect for the craft.
What began over twelve years ago as a commitment to a talented young professional who was already making his mark has become a strong partnership built on trust, excellence and a shared vision of the art of ham carving.
Throughout this time, José Manuel Hidalgo has built an exemplary career, becoming one of Spain’s leading figures in ham carving and specialist training. At 3Claveles, we are proud to have accompanied him on that journey, placing tools designed for professionals who demand precision, skill and the highest quality in his hands.
This renewal means more than continuing a collaboration: it represents a shared history and a commitment to keep moving forward together in the years ahead.
More than 12 years of collaboration between 3Claveles and José Manuel Hidalgo
We began working with José Manuel Hidalgo in 2014, when he was already emerging as one of the sector’s most promising figures after becoming Spanish national ham-carving champion.
Since then, his professional career has continued to develop, shaped by excellence, hard work and a way of understanding the craft in which technique and respect for tradition are essential.
Over the years, José Manuel has become one of the best-known names in professional ham carving. He has also devoted himself to training, helping prepare new generations of carvers and raise the technical standard across the sector.
Being part of this journey has been especially valuable for 3Claveles. We believe the best tools for ham carvers come from listening, learning and working alongside the people who turn the craft into a true specialism.
José Manuel Hidalgo and 3Claveles: a partnership built on precision and passion
The relationship between José Manuel Hidalgo and 3Claveles goes beyond a professional collaboration. It is a partnership built on shared values and a common commitment to doing the job well.
Every great ham carver brings years of dedication, learning, precision and passion to the craft. Professional tools, too, must be backed by high standards, experience and a commitment to continuous improvement.
For more than a decade, José Manuel Hidalgo’s insight, experience and high standards have helped us keep improving and develop knives and tools that meet the real needs of professionals in the sector.
At 3Claveles, we believe ham carving is more than a technique: it is a tradition, a culture, respect for the product and a craft practised to the highest standard.
Renewed until 2028: continuing to champion the art of ham carving
By renewing our collaboration until 2028, we reaffirm our commitment to supporting professionals with quality, innovative and precise tools.
We look to the future with the same enthusiasm we had when we began in 2014, convinced that talent, training and respect for the craft are the best way to keep championing the art of ham carving.
Thank you, José Manuel, for your trust and commitment throughout all these years.
Let’s keep carving together.
