The Municipal Museum of Knives opened its doors on September 6, 2004, thanks to the donation and cession of several collections by various entities, collectors and individuals. Some examples are the APRECU Collection, the Caja Castilla La Mancha Collection, the Jesús Vico Collection, the Cajamurcia Foundation Collection and the Samuel Setian Collection, as well as the collections that have been provided by individuals who have delivered pieces, objects or documents to the Museum.

The Municipal Museum of Knives and Cutting Tools is made day by day and much of the Albacete citizens feel it as their own because there is a piece of their own family history in the form of a knife.

With this exhibition, which shows around 250 pieces, ethnological objects and documents, the Municipal Museum of Knives and Cutting Tools wants to pay a well-deserved tribute to all those entities that have collaborated in the formation of the Museum collections and to those people who make it possible with their contributions, detaching themselves from pieces, objects or documents that had jealously guarded, in many cases as silent testimony of a past of dedication to the knife making world and, in others, as the joyful gift or the intimate memory of a family member or friend. In short, they deposit their feelings.
