Arcos knives have been made in Spain for centuries. They are designed for professionals and home cooks alike. They are powerful, functional and intuitive! They'll help you prepare your most complex recipes, as well as your less elaborate daily meals.
The Arcos Manhattan knife series is unique. High-quality materials combined with innovative manufacturing processes and Arcos know-how result in knives that are out of the ordinary in terms of performance.
Here are the details of this set:
- 1 10cm paring knife: cuts, peels and cleans damaged parts of small fruits and vegetables
- 1 15cm utility knife: a slightly larger model, which can be used on larger pieces, and can even mince boneless meat
- 1 19cm Rocking Santoku knife: a versatile Japanese-style knife that can handle a wide range of foods, just like a Western chef's knife (meat, vegetables, etc.). It features a curved blade, with a pronounced point, which creates a rocking effect when cutting, for a natural movement. It is particularly useful for chopping herbs, for example.
Each knife is forged, meaning it's made from a single solid bar of steel. It is then heated and pressed into its final shape. Since it's made in one piece, it's much stronger, with no welds to weaken it over time.
The blades are made from NITRUM®stainless steel, an alloy enriched with nitrogen to increase its hardness (a composition specially developed by the manufacturer). It boasts a hardness of 57 HRC, giving you a durably marked edge for long-lasting performance, while remaining easy to sharpen.
It's an excellent alloy for everyday use. Each knife has a new-generation cutting edge, the fruit of the latest technologies in the sector. Its cutting angle (Silk Edge®) is a cumulative 24/25°: your cuts are incredibly precise and clean. Your food is sliced effortlessly.
The backs of the blades have been softened to adapt the cutting surface to the specific gestures of chefs. The bolster also features a new design, allowing the wire to be fully sharpened to guarantee perfect cutting quality.
The handle, meanwhile, is made of black POM, a highly resistant synthetic material, particularly in the face of temperature variations and detergents. It features the Bactiproof Silver® treatment, which effectively fights bacteria. 3 stainless steel rivets secure the POM to the full tang blade.
Wash knives by hand, then dry immediately to avoid prolonged contact with moisture. That way, you'll take good care of them for a long time to come.
